Saab 92 segment Posted by JerseySaab [Email] (#666) [Profile/Gallery] (more from JerseySaab) on Mon, 27 Feb 2012 11:52:49 In Reply to: Re: Top Gear drops Saab, BMW on roof, JohnA [Profile/Gallery] , Mon, 27 Feb 2012 10:40:41 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I was confused by the Saab 92 part of the feature where Richard Hammond was working the throttle along with the brake on a downhill run to keep lubrication going to the 2-stroke engine. I thought the transmission's freewheeling feature was supposed to protect the engine under those circumstances. (With freewheeling the engine would just idle instead of being forced to run at high RPMs with the throttle closed.)
