The only way there won't be an increased load on the powertrain is if the revs are matched. If the revs are mis-matched then the transmission will be at a different point in the powerband (likely out of the powerband) and will result in increased loads experienced.
- TylerE 14y agoNo. Just no. If there is NEGATIVE load, the engine is not being fueled. Period. Also if there is no power demand (e.g. engine RPM > transmission RPM, but RPM > idle), again, no fueling.
- ynniv 14y agoRight. Perhaps jamesjguthrie isn't seeing the difference between engine noise (mechanical strain), and engine load. "Engine load" is the additional force requested, which will be negative when the wheels are driving the engine. He's also including rev matching in a conversation that is not about clutch or torque converter wear, so there's definitely some confusion.
