Usually on the street it doesn't matter too much. But when racing or such. Going from 1 on the gear indicator to D, won't allow the transmission to stay in second gear long at all. Causing a premature shift, and wearing out one of the bands quicker. Like I said, I have to look it all up again cause I don't remember exactly what happens. I'm just going off of what I remember.

I do remember reading once that the automatic transmission in a mustang wasn't built with performance in mind, but can be made to handle massive amounts of power.

I wish macx was around, I know he could clear all this up!
