Being safe.

I have an automatic. and i drive quite a bit during the day. A couple times a day I like to put the shifter down to first, give 'er some gas and shift to second. Most of the time at 3/4 throttle, I get a chirp from the tires. Then continue on to move to third, etc. I kinda like that. Anyway, my question is, is that bad for my tranny that I do that? Dunno why it would be but just in case. Just got my license so I don't want tranny repairs yet.

Just leave it in drive. If you want it to shift hard get a shift kit.

I new someone who did this, couple months later he had a blown tranny. These Aode's aren't that strong.

Funny story, I had an auto in my first car -- an '87 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe. I blew that sucker power-braking about 4 hours after I got my license.
