ok ill share since you guys are so funny. i used it rarely until about a year ago when i installed my injen cai and ses. i just couldnt get away from the sound of redline after that. i sold the exhaust but i still love to play with it most of the time.
+1. because of the delay, when im getting on it i shift at 6k because it shifts around 6500-6700 which is the peak of our powerband.
ive pulled this smooth move lol.
+1.
did this on the way home last night. its even more fun when its wet! (on the track of course) lol
90% of the time, D uses 4th gear. it all depends on your speed. if you try it at slower speeds, you'll see 2nd and 3rd mostly. just a side note, 5th gear kicks in at 120mph.

Just keep your foot planted to the floor .. when the tach reads 6k .. upshift ... and when you get the timing down .. you can go a lil past 6k and upshift and you wont hit the rev limiter

You would only want to do that on the tracks of course!
To fully utilize the MM, make sure you shift to gear 1 in parking lots so you can hear your exhausts...

When your cruising at around 50 and above, and you have it in D it is in 5th gear. The reason when you slap it over to manumatic and it drops to fourth because it is for dropping one gear and passing.
