Everything I have read about the Auto's starting in 1998 is that it is ok to shift up and down from 1-2 2-1, that it won't hurt the tranny. Infact it even says you can manual shift the tranny all the time and it won't ever hurt it. Unless you try and do something stupid like downshift into 1st at about 80 or so.. There was a link to an article (very detailed too) about the AOD/E 4R70W and like tranny, they showed real pics about the transmission and how to build it up to support about 800HP w/o failure...
