Yes you can do it. And it can be helpful at times when you want to control your shift points. I don't see a reason to come off the gas when you do it though. I just put 3.73 hears and a shift kit in my 95 GT and it makes a world of difference.
Matter of fact, I just purchased this right here:

It's purpose is to allow you to shift 1 - 2 - 3 in an AOD / AODE transmission. It's ratchet style, meaning you don thave to worry about accidentally skipping over a gear like you do with the stock shifter. You just slam it forward and it steps up one gear then recenters itself. The next time you slam it forward, it shifts up one more gear.

I'm sure I will forget, LoL. I'll put a note on my desk to remind me. Or hit me with a PM down the road. If I get it the 15th, i expect to have it installed about 2 hours later
