yah what he said
what if your racing a 6-speed camaro (which are pretty strong up high) and your at about 100mph and you need another gear? it wont shift into OD without the pedal being about halfway depressed, by this time the camaro is way ahead of you (god forbid)
just do what I did and stop worrying about blowing up the AOD, do a T-5 swap
