thanks on the feed back... so you smack the down shift as you brake (avoiding over rev obviously)? and neutral dropping meaning, you're in auto and as you come up to the light, you pop it into neutral?
also, i understand that "D" mode is the mode that wont cause any harm to the trans, as it's all ECU at that point.. what i want to know is, what's bad to do in manual mode?
example: the other day i was approaching a stop sign in manual mode, as i braked in 4th gear, the trans already began to down shift for me, being new to the car, i tapped the downshift paddle, only for it jerk and do a double down shift. bad? perhaps not. good? i doubt it. but everything adds up at the 100K mark.
