Yes there is a reason you can "manually " shift an automatic transmission, but in doing so the PCM or power train control module knows your shifting into the next gear and applies the solenoid to move the band to grab the next gear without tearing it up prematurely, when your shifting like in this video, the vehicle is still rolling, causing a premature wear that's caused to the band, and having to replace a $15 dollar part for more than $2,500 to drop the transmission, open the transition up take out that part and put it all back together all because you didn't drive the vehicle properly, just drive an automatic like an automatic and a manual like a manual

Smerky it's for climbing steep inclines low gears bring more torque, and when ur going down a steep hill you can put it in a lower gear so it coasts slower without using ur brakes as much, to prevent brake failure from overheating them and just running through ur brakes super fast
I've seen some tunes to where the tow haul button is reprogrammed to drop it in which ever gear you want for like a 30 or 40 roll, just so you don't risk missing a shift or dropping it in neutral.

isaiah mcclain that's a good idea. Maybe I'll do it for you.
Number 1 thing you should never do in an auto if you can select gears is letting off the gas when changing gear!!! Since there's no clutch petal you don't have the ability to disengage the engine from the drivetrain between gear shifts like you would on a manual, and so the differential between the engine rpm (which has decreased since letting off gas) and the rpm of the transmission (which is still spinning fast) will cause a major upset in the car, and result in what is known as engine braking. The effect is that (especially if revved to redline) you will feel the car's weight jolt forwards and act as if being pulled back from behind, it's like slamming on the brakes between gear changes. Imagine sticking your finger in a spinning fan blade only you have to force it to stay in those blades till they slow down, that's pretty much what's happening to your drivetrain.

Don’t let off the gas when shifting manually, you can stay in the gas because it’s like it’s in automatic mode but you tell it when to shift like the 6spd transmissions with button shift.

Closest I've come to actually shifting an automatic has come in two cars I know extremely well. Believe it or not, you can control what gear the engine uses by how you move your throttle. Granted, I'm driving old cars, but they can still be controlled without touching the "shifter"

Okay. So if I put it in first gear with this, will it not be the same as putting it in L in a regular auto? Then you can shift back to drive in both; in mine just by pushing left and in the Silverado's by pushing forward, right? Do they actually operate differently?
I do this when I race my cars but something tells me that method can and will break the trans. It isn't made to do that.
I do the same thing esp pulling a trailer, it increases the shift points in the first 3 most important gears so you can gain speed properly when pulling a load or just launching in general, and not have to buy a programmer to increase it for ya!
Step one, put it in drive, step two, drive it to the dealer you got it from step three, trade it in for the manual version of your vehicle. done
I don't believe there is a problem shifting to 1-2-3 in an auto,although i wouldn't do neutral. The main problem is that it's inefficient as regardless the speed you are coasting the torque converter will still be slipping,so mainly the engine will be sort of free wheeling,no advantage of manual shifting unless you manage to keep the engine rpm way down while maintaining the same speed as it will have in drive. Once i get an auto like 4L60,i will surely do it whatsoever.

I'm converting a vortec pickup with a 4l60e to a carburetor and I'm removing the computer crap. Hoping to be able to shift it manually
Why though? Like why in the fuck would you do this? To feel cool or something i guess?? I mean autos past 06 are gunna shift faster and better than a manual for racing, as well as its just easier. And if your doing it to feel like a manual just get a manual theyre cheaper in most cases
Or if you keep your rpms low enough and you know what gear you're in, you can rev that gear out right before red lining, hold it and then lay into the gas to feel the shift happen.
A good trans tune is enough to beat any of the average manual drivers posting on here about autos.

My cars got an auto and It has PRND 321 I drive it in 3rd it gives me more power but hurts my gas mileage but I like the more power the faster shifts are nice. 2nd good on hills and 1s good for snow and mud. 1 and 2 are not really driving gears D and 3 are. Every cars different and I didn’t know this until one day I red the manual lol and found out 3rd is actually the best option for fast shifts
My understanding is that he's not creating any further performance. The only benefit I can find is maybe he's riding a gear longer or shorter before shifting. Like if he wants to blast through a stop light, it's easier to rev 2nd than shift into 3rd. Which in low gears, is not really a big difference in a daily driver, just making more work for himself. But if he could drop a gear, then he could disappear
Him "k say I'm Rollin with a guy and he wants to do a 30"🤣
automatic trans are pretty quick in modern cars, i think it’s just be smarter to let it shift for you. if you’re racing your truck i’m pretty sure you can’t go from first to second quicker than you’re auto will or you might miss second completely and throw it into the wrong gear
Before watching this video -i call bullshit After watching video -5% less bullshit
R.i.p transmission 😂😂
So in the 4L60E there’s a clutch pack that’s called a overrun clutch pack and when you shift manually like this you do get less clutch slippage and more gear engagement but if you keep doing this you’ll ruin your overrun clutch pack I found this out the hard way 😂 but if you want to keep doing so don’t say I didn’t inform you 😂
*Accidently throughs it into reverse*
I just watched this video for the second time, and I just realized... thats Huntsville.
Oh I get it, this is like one of the car comedians channels. Or your father failed you.
Your truck you can do what you want with it. But if you want better performance “racing” or “launching”. Try and find an aftermarket performance torque converter and get a better tune. Guaranteed you’ll be faster than any manny out there.
It's fine to coast in neutral doesn't hurt it. But hitting the brakes in neutral is going to fuck you over in brakes, it burns the crap out of your brakes.
How to drive an Automatic like a Manual Step 1: Take out the shift gear from the interior, then Use a Car Jack And raise dat automatic car gently Step 2: After you raised dat automatic car gently, start taking out the automatic gearbox m8 Step 3: Great job! Now put back a brand new chad Manual Gearbox that fits in the engine perfectly.
When you really want a manual truck..
you will fuck up yours shifting like that that's why it automatic it does it for you
That's cool. I need to try that with my car whenever I get one
The 1 2 3 is for pulling/switching to your gears with more torque.
if you release your foot off the accelerator and push it again, the car will drop down to a lower gear to give better acceleration I am not sure if all automatics are like this but my Zafira 1.8 has a sports mode which does this when I kickdown
better hope you never pass neutral and hit reverse haha
Have any body ever put an LS1 on those new trucks and an old 5 speed manual transmission ?
I tell people i have a manual, the shift knob just doesn’t move because it’s the new manual tech where I use my mind.
Ok I have to say so many people in the comments are saying this is bad for the trans and they've ruined trans doing this and I'm legit confused like what kind of shit vehicles do these people drive were the trans is built so shitty that shifting the gears breaks it like what just because the trans isn't doing it it's self doesn't mean it's any different all your doing is making it go from 1st to 2nd to 3rd to 4th just like the trans would be doing it's self if you weren't doing it yourself but it's not gonna hurt if you do it why do you think the manufacturer made the vehicle this way if your not supposed to do this ?
If you want to keep the rpms high in city driving wouldn't you just keep it in 3rd and the automatic trans will do the rest? Can even keep it in 2nd if you want spirited driving. At least that's how my firebird works. It upshifts and downshift automatically when you put it in 3rd or 2nd.

Huh, I didn't know you could drive it like that. So, downshifting would be turning the logic backwards, right? I mean, I'm from Wisconsin, and downshifting is so useful when driving in snowy roads. I used to have a manual, and I used to downshift with my manual. It saved me tons of times from going into the ditch.
