[05 MUSTANG GT]

Is it safe to use the 1,2,3 gear positions to shift in my automatic gt? My friend said it would mess up my transmission so i only tried it out once and it was so much fun to drive that way. It felt like a completely different car

I did it for a month and now my tranny whines like crazy and shifts harder than usual.

Man that sucks i guess it was fun while it lasted... sorry about your trans

it shouldn't really do much, as far as hurting your transmission. it's all computer controlled.

Ya I don't think it messes anything up, doesn't shift the car any faster or better, I do know if you did this in the pre 1998 4r70w trans it would cause premature failure

If you want to shift buy a stick or Ferrari with paddle shifters

It is totally safe i do it alot even downshifting is cool these trans r made for it. Just dont skip over a gear thats y they make after market auto shifters so you can slam on it hard as u want and wont over shoot a gear

Haha. Wise.

I've got a tci ratchet shifter in mine (came with car). I don't really use it for manual shifting but it looks damn good. With a firm shift race tune these autos do pretty good on their own.

Get rid of the girlfriend and get a manual trans

Idk I probably had bout 15 actually dating girlfriends, the rest I've just kept as friends, how long you to been together tho? My one girlfriend talked me into a color of a car but we were dating for 3 years and I didn't see the end in sight lol but then we got a place together and everything changed, I felt old, I was only 22. Haha so I kicked her out
