    hot shifter

    any good lookin t handle shifters or really anything for the auto?

    i dont like the stock knob. it looks like the one in my moms toyota solara yuck!!!!

    is it bad to manually upshift your car when racing or cruising or anything?

    what if you wanna roll race some guy. can you slam her 1, and go from there. i don't wanna blow up my trans.....yet......

    I shifted my '98 auto car manually when the event warrented it. Does no harm to already be in the right gear (like going 25 MPH in first gear, or whatever is the appropriate speed for the gear being used) and I picked up .2 and 1.5 MPH at the dragstrip manually shifting for my uneducated trans control module. That way you can shift at redline instead of 2-500 before. Just like anything else, learn how to do it and don't abuse it.
