60# sure seems high. But I guess I'll be giving it a try if I ever get my car back from Moroso.

I'm new to the power shifting game. Never wanted to do it cause of the rebuild cost. But since I started rebuilding my own, I practice the power shift every chance I get. I'm on my 3rd set of 2nd & 3rd synchros in as many months, but they only cost $12 each. Then figure 3-4 hrs putting them in. Much cheaper than any tranny shop I've ever seen.

Anyway, my question was: How do you power shift an automatic? I thought you could hold your foot to the floor and let the tranny do the rest. I'm not very familiar with ATs. Actually, I don't know anything about ATs other than they give you a lot more consistency than a MT.

Thanks.
