Powershifting just refers to upshifting without letting off the throttle, so with an auto you are already doing it if you keep it matted.
Had to chuckle at the 'powershit' typo.

The AOD is a weak tranny compared to others.Power shifting is NOT advised.I shift mine right at 5k and so far I have no problems.The tranny is only 3 years old and I don't use OD unless I must.I say this based on a stock tranny.I think others will tend to agree.Good Luck Later.

You can't powershift a automatic. Powershifting refers to 5-speeds.

That's what folks call the 'AOD shuffle'
