Hi,
I live in Europe and here almost everyone drives manulas. So I have very little info about automatics. will I burn up my 700r4 or not if I put shifter in first gear position at stop light and then shift in second at WOT and ~5500 rpm ad then the same manner in drive position?
My intention is to have automatic shifts for cruising and manual for draging...

 

you're not gonna hurt anything, but you'd be wise to buy a governor recalibration kit, then let it shift itself at 5500. Also buy a shift kit if you want full manual control when the shifter isn't in the OD position, like for canyon carving.

 

thanks.
shifter kit will be the best solution for me
