How do you do a burnout in an automatic?
Doin the burnout in second ain't necessary....BUT it's a good idea for a novice. Here's the deal. It's all about the overrunnung clutch. If you're gonna do the burnout usin low, STAY in the bleach box until the shift to second is COMPLETE. Failure to do this is where the trouble can begin. If you come outta the bleach box and shift to second and it hooks when it makes the shift, it can and probably will rip the overrunning clutch right outta the back of the case and the transmission could even explode. ...and that's no joke. If you don't have a ton of experience, or if you have an automatic valve body, make SURE to shift all the way into second gear while still spinnin in the bleach box. That way there won't be a shock to the overrunning clutch and you'll be fine.
