Yup. No such thing as powershifting an AOD. Maybe they think he has a 5-speed?

Anyway, there is such a thing as the 1-D-1 Shuffle in an AOD. People use it to be able to hold second gear. Many people say it will burn your tranny up, others have used it without any problems. I use to use it on rare occasion when racing.

The problem with a stock AOD is that it is inconsistant in the way it shifts, even with the 1-D-1 shuffle. A shift kit helps, but I still had problems until I put in the Lentech valve body. Now it shifts like a dream.
