Manual Shifting On Auto Tranny

i didn't notice a difference on the alero, from a dead stop, or kickdown. they did it on 4t80e's for towing.....

manual shifting a auto does sound dumb. but on my aurora, if you left the gear selector in 2, it increased the line pressure, it shifted so fast and hard into 2nd, it chirped the tires, and it would delay the shifts 100-200rpm. i havn't tried it in the alero, but in cases like this, it has a benefit

welll was the aurora a v8?

If he had a 4T80E yeah 4.0L v-8, because the 3.5L v-6 aurora came with a 4t65e.

yep...it was a 95 with the autobahn package (more aggressive gearing). i loved kicking that thing down at like 25mph, and screaching the tires at like 35
