ORIGINAL: Overpowered
This is why I want the 6 speed manual.
Auto stick programing should allow you to keep it in a gear as long as you like. Rev limiter should operate to avoid overreving regardless of gear.
The auto stick being smart enough not to allow a downshift when the car is moving too fast is a good feature.
Upshift too quick, what should the car do? Car comes to a stop while in a gear higher than 1st, will it force it to 1st for a proper take off.
My Cuda had a full manual valve body automatic, selected gear on shifter was the gear the tranny was in. Second gear starts were ok, third gear avoided to keep from burnin up tranny.
when I feel like babying the car I'll leave a stop from 2nd in the auto stick, the car actually seems to like it better.
and yes it does shift back down to 1st if you come damn near to a complete stop.
