Shifting (A/T)

The fact that the A/T's that allow + and - manual gear changes is not responsive is the driver's fault, his ignorance of how to up/down shift an A/T properly...and not the car's fault.

Pavel, you're a retard. When you hit the selector in a manumatic, the transmission shifts THEN, but with a slight lag as the internals get the gears in order. The lag has nothing to do with the rpms already being in sync, it's the same delay no matter how close or far apart they may be. The only difference is how high the engine ultimately revs once the gear change has been completed.

Please don't tell me I'm ignorant of my own car. I'm not some 15 year old highway virgin, and you're obviously not the driving superstar you want us all to believe you are. You've posted nothing but BS in every thread you've participated in, calling everyone but yourself ignorant and mistaken. Don't you have anything better to do than blow smoke up everyone's ass?

I stand by my claim that factory manumatics suck.
