Shifting the automatic is much more fun than the plain auto, but it will wear the transmission out faster.
I hear that if in a race, the automatic is faster and more efficient than shifting, don't worry, your computer knows what it's doing.
keep it in D/OD as much as possible.

I have that problem too, to get high RPM's in OD you have to floor it.

no computer to know what its doing, in one post once upon a time ago, i beleive my exact words were, "i got the v6 out i got the 350 in i disconeccted my computer, burned it, and then peed on it, and laughed" lol

the 700R4's in the third gens arent controlled by the computer. not that it matters cuz hes running a TH350, but i just thought id clarify that.

I see...no computer, that would change things then..
