Re: Other gears in auto
If by "make any difference at all" you mean in acceleration, then no it does not. It allows you to start in 2nd when in foul terrain (snow) and it allows you to limit the transmission to a certain gear for say, steep hill decents. It won't, however, increase your acceleration by starting it L and then shifting it yourself to 2nd and D. At WOT (wide open throttle) the transmission usually shifts close to the redline and manually shifting it you really only run the chance of damaging the transmission or engine.
