at the track, my best times were with brake torquing and manually shifting from first (past redline a bit). both of these thing will cause your tranny to blow up (mine did at 100k, started slipping at 60k)
hmm. I dunno. I was told this by a mechanic but maybe he is used to working on older cars that need to shift around there.
At around 50 my car seems that it needs to shift and it wont shift unless I force it too by going faster or shifting it into D4.
My tranny was rebuilt 2 years ago at around 100K too.
