I tried downshifting today from D to 1 at 30mph. I was expecting my rpm to jump up and scream but it felt like i applied the brakes. I thought i was fucking upthe transmission so i popped it back into D. the next time i shifted gears after a stop sign it jerk out of the ordinary then unnoticeably. |

shifting back to one from there is not a good thing to do... the only reason you would need anything other than D is if you were towing something..

Uh.. Before you downshift you have to give it a lot of gas to match your RPMs after it shifts. Put it in 2 and go to 20mph, then drop it back to 1 and hit the gas. It will downshift, have plenty of gas, and be fine. I do it like 100 times a day or more. |

There is no problem dropping from D to 2 or D to 1. At all. None. You can do it all you want as long as you know how to do it properly. |

exactly, a quick blip of the throttle to match up the rpm's and it doesnt harm a thing, the gap from d-2 is slightly larger then 2-1 so i rev it twice once to get it goin the second to match it from 2-1 you only have enough time for one quick blip. and depending on your speed 25 or less the more it needs to match |

if yor at fortymph and drop it to 1 it would be harmful to both the engine and tranny if you keep your foot on the accelarator |

Not really. You would just shift right into 6000rpms. If you were at 45+, it won't even downshift. |

why does this thread even exist? putting something into a certain gear just allows it to go that high. the computer pwnz joo and will do whatever it wants, so get out of its way. just put it in d without overdrive and stab the gas. |

Because there is a lot of misinformation about this. I explained why I do it. Everyone else is like: Oh no. That sounds bad. Don't ever do it. It will kill your car. |

Where did I ever say I run better? In fact, I said exactly the opposite. I said you shift quicker in D. 
Did you just jump to the end of the thread? |

It's cool! You were right about it being slower, so all is good. |

I've raced both shifting 1 2 D and only on D and I think I like it best on D. When I shift my car jumps forward a lot, dunno if its good or bad. Either way I'm gonna stick with regular D when racing, it feels better |

hes refering to ur 1-2-D shifting thing, just leave it in D and you'll se better results, also do the #1 and #2 for even better results out of only D
