It can be fun, but is, for the most part, stupid.

we had a discussion on this already

https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/sh...=shifting+auto

read through that entire thread.

i wouldnt do it unless nessicery, eg, in snow and ice, those are the only real reasons you have those gears, for grip in hazardos conditions.

but like i said read the thread and you will see
