If you push the stick to the right at any time and hold it over there for three or four seconds it will revert back to full auto mode. Any time you want to down shift just pull it toward the left. If you pull it into first while idleing and hit the throttle it will still shift into second around 6000-6200 rpm regardless if you manually shift or not... so no worries about blowing the motor from over reving or anything like that. Play with it... experiment a little. Have fun... just might add to your driving experience!
