\u201cBut if I had an automatic that was a Robotsied Manual, well they have a clutch or two.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo it won’t be an electric motor trying to move the car with the handbrake on, it will not be a torque converter trying to move the car with the handbrake on. It will be a clutch.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd well I’ll give you between 30 seconds and two minutes before your clutch is toast. When a clutch gets to a certain temperature. It turns to dust and smoke and it may heat up so much it actually damages the flywheel as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat is not going to likely cost less than \u00a31,000 to replace. Probably a lot more.<\/p>\n

But some systems aren\u2019t that smart and they do.<\/p>\n \u201cYou are in drive with the handbrake on, off the footbrake, it’s trying to pull the car forward.\u201d<\/p>\n According to BookMyGarage, replacing the clutch is one of the most expensive pieces to repair.<\/p>\n Experts warn prices are likely to range from \u00a3450 to over \u00a31,000 with the average bill sitting between \u00a3500 and \u00a3620.<\/p>\n However, prices could exceed \u00a31,500 if the flywheel needed to be replaced as well.<\/p>\n Mr Fanders added: \u201cSo my best bit of advice when it comes to driving an automatic. When it comes to being stationary in an automatic is if you are stationary don\u2019t be in drive with the handbrake on and off the footbrake.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you are in drive and you are not moving make sure you are on the footbrake.\u201d<\/p>\n
