question about an auto tranny

[Built4speed]

i have a race coming up and was wonder if the best way to shift was to either keep it in drive or go through 1,2,D. but im worried about blowing my tranny. thanks.

keep it in D. the computer knows how to shift faster and when to shift, better than you. you might have more of a chance at blowing your tranny putting it in 1-2-D. just brake stand to ~1500 rpms. floor it on the 3rd amber.

awesome thanks alot!

and there is just one more problem. when i floor it my tires dont catch i keep spinning for about a second. any suggestions?

[04moostang]

don't quite floor it then or get sticky tires lol

what i do is kinda just let off the brake and push the gas in kinda fast but not enough to break traction. just keep working on it you wont be a pro the first time you go, just have some fun.
