this is kinda weird how so many people do it... i never heard of any1 else doing it, i just do it... if i'm accelerating hard in my autofaggot, i let off right before it shifts, then gas it to change the gear... kinda weird. if my tranny dies, its a good reason to swap
hehe then my dad actually might approve. hehehehehe
i don't think its bad for you to switch down to d3 anyways when you need the extra oomph. of course my car really doesn't have oomph but if i wanna pass someone i stick it in d3... and when i'm braking i switch it down to d3 to 'engine brake'...
i think all hondas are like this... that you can throw it in d3 without hitting the button.... i stuck it in reverse one while going kinda fast (accident) and that was bad....
back on topic. i think it just makes you THINK you're going faster... not sure. never timed. but when i just gun it, it seems to hang at the high RPMS a little longer before switching... :dunno:

it seems that it goes back into gear or whatever you want to call it b/c in an auto. tranny the ecu changes gears by how much your gas your giving the car when you let go....it takes it out of second and put it into third..then when you floor it again..it drops it back into second...i dont recommed you manual shifting in an auto...

I think it's just that when you are accelerating smoothly your have no grasp on speed. But when you accelerate and then stop (when you take the foot off the gas) and then start again you feel the jerk so it feels like you are going faster.
