and no...i dont recommend ANY kind of manual shifting to a stock trans...itll just shorten its life by quite a bit...

but some of the most fun is driving along at about 50 then downshifting into 1 (2nd gear)....thats how you take off froma roll with an AOD....cours ethats how my dad blew the tranny 3-4 times...rofl...except that was about 60-70mph...silly him...oh well

Like Mach 1 said "Uh.........ok"
