You CAN just stick it in drive and go. Or, you can put it in first, and go up sequentially, like a manu-matic. The ratchet only allows you one movement per push, i.e. it won't let you throw from 1 to 3. You have to take pressure off of it, allowing the mechanical inertia mechanism that blocks it to reset. Then, you can push it again to go up a gear. So, you just slam that [censored] without thinking.... it's fun in high HP cars.

Although, it sounds like Dean is going to bring new meaning to "Slap-shifter."

Looking good!



I understand that part, im curious how it works ont he contours automatic. Will dean have the ability to select gears like that? I know on some automatics you can put it in 'low' and shift up but once you climb the revs, the PCM will shift it for you wether you want to or not.
