Don Coatney Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Forum member Todd Bracik who owns a pair of D-24's paid me a visit today. He rode with me on the first drive of my new D-24. I was told that my car runs and drives better than his. It was good to have an experienced D-24 man along for the ride. A couple of times I came to a complete stop in 3rd gear and the car accelerated slowly but comfortably. That is one of the main reasons I wanted a fluid drive. Less shifting means less wear and tear on my already defective knees. While here Todd assisted in installing the front tag. Good to spend time with forum members. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Coatney Posted July 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Last time I drove a fluid drive was many years ago. This is the first one I have ever owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Balazs Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Last time I drove a fluid drive was many years ago. This is the first one I have ever owned. FWIW I think they take a bit of getting used to. I drive my truck every day but often forget that it is there to use. With the rear axle ratio I have taking off in 3rd is just too slow for the cars I am forced to share the road with. None of them actually have my permission to be out and about.........but that doesn't seem to stop them. Glad to hear you got a good one.
