I ALWAYS GO 1ST 2ND 1ST, WHICH I HEAR A FEW PEOPLE DO WITH THE AOD'S. I'M PRETTY SURE IT IS NOT EXACTLY THE BEST WAY TO TREAT AN AUTO. BUT IF IT HELPS. (in reply to ANTICIVIC) Post #: 2

If it's an AOD-E then that's not an issue. If you have a full manual valve body, then you have to shift through every gear on your own, both up and down. However, if you get a valve body for an AOD that has electronic OD delete, you can shift 1-2-3 on your own or you can simply leave it in D. _____________________________ Car @ idle NOS is like a hot chick with an STD.
