dont have a vid but here ya go, with air and traction control off, firmly give your car gas and mash the petal to the floor, not immediatly cause u will end up semi bogging up the engine, when u hit 4600 rpm's shift down to 2 with the petal still to the floor, if done right u will chirp 2nd, then when u reach 5400 rpm's shift back up to drive u wont have to push the button this time on the shifter, u wont chirp 3rd then u have done all the hard work the rest is up to the car. it takes some time to perfect but basically when shifting from d to 2 u are trying to time the shift to where u shift just at or right before redline, the auto will have a bit of a delay so thats why i say 4600 and thats what i was told when i learned. good luck and after a couple runs u will have it down. dont do it too much tho and mess up ur tranny

You won't mess up the tranny if you do it right. It's programmed in the computer. Granted pushing the car hard at every red light will mess up something eventually, but the D2D shifting is pretty safe.

Ya, it wont mess up anything, all its doin is increasing the line pressure in the tranny. kinda like a poor mans shift kit

i wouldn't do it from every stop. only do it ocassionally. better off safe than sorry.

the trick is to master when your car shifts into 2nd at WOT and pull it from D back into 2nd just before the trans would have shifted itself
