yes on both runs, bcuz on the way to the track i notice the car is still missing the1st to 2nd shift.:(

I have to try that, I'm scared of breaking something though, it would avoid my bog on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift, and I bet my 60ft would greatly improve! Have to wait til next year though :(

All I can say is shift way early! I shifted right at 61/6200 twice now and saw the tach jump to 6700 both times before the shift. That was also before my Jmod however.

i like letting the computer shift itself but i didnt ave a choice.
but still dont know which one is better.

I thought I heard that WOT and manually shifting were not "good" things. Something about reverse sharing first or second inside the trans??? I know NOTHING about automatics.

[LANDY]

on manual i always shift rite b4 5500 rpm
