Bringing the tranny to optimum performance, including modifying stock settings, will present a learning curve for me. I would be happy if it would start off in first. It hardly ever does. What’s more, the auto shift moves from 2nd to 3rd long before the usability of second gear is past. I’m getting better and better using the stick as a bypass, but even that will rarely put it into first at any speed. Oh well, life is full of challenges.
