Another thing that I have found that works well on the 7 SP AT is shifting from full auto to manual if you are cruising around town at 40 to 50 MPH. In the full auto mode, the AT will lope the motor down to below 2k RPM at 50 MPH. (Probably for fuel econ) If you slap the shift into manual mode at 50 MPH the trans will select 5th gear and lift the rpm by about 500 rpm to 2.2k to 2.5k RPM and hold the gear. It moves to motor up on the torque curve and removes the "slush from the box"
