Re: SHIFTING AUTO's
For upshifting, as long as you don't wait too long, it won't hurt anything.
You will more than likely be slower doing this though.
Let the car downshift itself though.

That's what I'm planning for the near future
All this autoshifting reminds me of my first car, 91 CRX stock, I used to screw around with shifter all the time. Then when my uncle visits he says, no you should start out in this gear. And every so often on a trip, my dad likes to shift and I remind him, this ain't a manual!!! Good times.

I wasn't exactly a rice burner. My friend's who were just getting me started in cars were sitting across the table from me and said, your new exhaust is going to sound like a lawnmower--...yes. But I have to admit, not even an si and and thing had great power to weight ratio for a...90 hp? I'll tell you another thing, monte carlos pissed me off. It was even worse that I thought they were cadillacs ><
