i dont know what you mean by double stomping, but when you give an automatic car enough gas, it will downshift. thats what they are made for

Well you are right Spikey, it does work that way to. But I mean double stomp it like take foot off gas stomp to ground an bak off an stomp it again an hold bascly as fast as you can. It just seems to get the car to downshift a little quicker. Cause not always when I floor it does it downshift and then im in 4th gear at 2500rpm doin 45 miles an hour like "hey car ya wanna do 65 so I can merge". Anyway caio

if you downshift to first gear in a automatic neon it wont hurt it at all...take off from a red light and just leave it in first and it will automatically shift to second anyway...thats why i got a manual..
