I've been a shift'n the auto in my shelby since about day #4. I do all kinds of
good shifts, you know yankin' her down into 2nd. gear doing about 45 so the tach
will go up in the 4000 rpm range and create this awesome exhaust note through
the Flowmasters. I know my tranny is gonna fly apart sooner or later, so why
not sooner. Then again I'm only 18 yrs old and this is normal? Right???
Ah, anyways to each his own, I don't want a five speed (I guess I don't have
enough foot coordination or something) so I'll keep shifting my auto. I look at
it this way, I'm doing the work for the auto, so it should last longer Right?
Later
