i think if you get a transgo shift kit, there is an option where you can shift manually, not 100% positive though....sorry, anybody else please chime in

of cource u can shift with an auto,

u see those numbers?

1 for 1st gear
2 for 2nd gear
D for 3rd gear
UD for 4th gear

unless you have a shift kit tho, constant manual shifting is a bad idea

yea but I heard that when u do with the whole shifting the whole way with 1 2 and 3 it does damage to your transmission and will also not always strictly follow it, it will sometimes kick it outta that gear

Just leave it in D and go. Don't break your parents mustang.

I guess like everyone elese said Transgo Shirt kit?

Yes you can shift it and it wont hurt a thing. You can use it to engine brake in any gear also. They make ratchet shifters that you can use to make positive shifts also. This info comes from Fords Manual.

Park

In the PARK position:

there is no powerflow through the transmission.
the parking pawl locks the output shaft to the case.
the engine can be started.
the ignition key can be removed.
Reverse

In the REVERSE position:

the vehicle can be operated in a rearward direction, at a reduced gear ratio.
engine braking will occur.
Neutral

In the NEUTRAL position:

there is no powerflow through the transmission.
the output shaft is not held and is free to turn.
the engine can be started.
Overdrive

Overdrive is the normal position for most forward driving.

The OVERDRIVE position provides:

Automatic shifts.
Apply and release of the torque converter clutch.
Maximum fuel economy during normal operation.
Second Position

This position provides:

Second gear start and hold.
The torque converter clutch can apply and release.
Improved traction and engine braking on slippery roads.
Engine braking for descending steep grades.
First Position

If this position is selected at normal road speeds, the transmission will shift into second gear, then into first when the vehicle reaches a speed below approximately 45 km/h (28 mph).

This position provides:

First gear operation only.
Engine braking for descending steep grades.

So it dont hurt a thing to manually shift an automatic?

i used to do that in my old 5.0 and went through 3 trannys i dont know how the new ones hold up to that kinda of abuse, oh and if you do alot of neutral drops that is a forsure way to mess up the tranny!
