Dam it got really quick So I got some stuff done to the car and not its a rocket, 1first gear is cake 2nd is cake and then I have no where to get into third lol.
My problem is that not thats it i quicker I like to power shift it to hold the gear a little longer how bad is it for the car? also how bad is it to downshift the car manully my friend is telling me I am killing my car and I dont see it that way because the kid goes to auto school and thinks he knows everything so i take nothing he says serious, I was thinking about a trans coller but I dont know which to get I haven't seen any on the market

Manually downshifting a 4L60E is just as bad as neutral drops, I.E. you are going to blow your trans, and quickly. Let the computer do the shifting, this has been covered 84750873562984756948375639487560285762349578645780 6 times. If you have a built tranny by many of the sponsors or other companies, manually downshifting once in a while won't hurt it, but you still shouldn't do it all the time.

if this is true.. i would like to know how the **** you power shift an a4? you just get mad and push it up instead of tapping it up? lmfao.. what a joke..
power shifting? again, why.. and i just found out that you do have a4.. and that is the dumbest thing i have heard.. let the computer shift itself.. you cant shift better than it can.....
if you want your car to shift better... GET A TUNE!
your going to ruin it..
your going to ruin your tranny.. and your slowing your car down at the same time...

Not trying to rag on you guys that do this, just trying to be informative. I had a ton of problems when my cars were automatic, and the first tranny I had go out was becuase I was doing this. If you read in the automatic section there is a sticky about this I think.
