i dunno about that....you can hold 1st, 2nd and 3rd (to the 107 cutoff for zetecs) gears a little longer..if you manually shift the gears you have control of when to shift just so as long you dont hit the rev limiter...the computer doesnt even try to shift, if you hit the rev limiter in first (which is somewhere around 40-44mph) you car starts to spit and sputter..until you shift into second...
