Occasionally I need to pull out really fast where I live. Usually I put my foot on the brake and accelerator at the same time to get the RPMs as close to the turbo as I can. My only question is it safe for the torque converter? I just installed a rebuilt trans and it still had a harsh 1-2 shift but today after doing my pull out fast trick I smelled ATF but no leaks anywhere and it shifts nice now. Did I blow something out good or bad?
