Get your tranny tuned so it shifts where you want it to, then put it in OD and forget about it.

Yeah dude, in an auto, just bury you foot into the pedal and shift just before it bumps the rev limiter. Had a rachet shifter in my 71. LOADS of fun! Now i goe a t56 in my ss.

Get the shift points tuned correctly, put the shifter in D, and push down the gas pedal. There's no reason to try and manually shift an electronic automatic
