I'm not sure if I can agree with that anyways.
You have to pay more attention to driving since you also have to shift, that also leaves less time for other things that are distracting.dirtyjerz, allniter and Raiderfanatic Thank this. -

Heck I don't even pay attention to the shifting anymore.. I just do it.. it is kind of ..................automatic. of course I can fix your problem too more fuel and patience and you will hit every gear it isn't a battering ram.. If you are grinding gears down shifting.. more fuel and hold it against the hole until it falls in you will feel it.. from 10 to 9 is the same as from 5 to 4 the problem is in the operator. stop thinking about it .. Nice avatar.Raiderfanatic Thanks this. -

shifting becomes second nature.. i get up to speed and dont even remember shifting. honestly, auto trans makes the driver even lazier than most will already be. i drove one for 1 week, it was a rental truck when mine was in the shop. it wasnt worth a crap in the mountains, and i felt myself getting lazier, eating, drinking, and talking on the phone when i was leaving a stop light. you may think that not shifting will free up your mind to pay attention to more, but actually, it wont.
TRKRSHONEY and allniter Thank this.
