Default Re: what is an "AUTOSTICK?"

BTW: You can tap it into '1' and nail the throttle, it will shift on it's own when it feels the need. ( usually around 5700 RPM ).

I get the most use out of mine doing downshifts.
Not sure if this is extra wear and tear on the tranny, but sure saves on brakes.

Another BTW: if you HOLD it in either left or right position, it will go to the max / min gear.

Supposedly, the TCM is smart enough so no damage will occur if you decide to put it in '1' at 90 MPH. Haven't tried that, but I believe it will just go to the lowest gear that does not result in > 5700 RPM.

Anyone had the ***** to try that ?
