that's nothing, my first oil change on my new car, the tech forgot to put oil in, so I got about three blocks and was walking back wondering wtf happened. Now I'm getting close to my first oil change on my second engine in my new car. [:@]

Does that idiot still have a job there? They should have given that one a drug test.

i have an autostick RT coupe, and i have NEVER used regular auto mode. i always shift by hand. ive even found ways to make it shift harder by tooling with the TCM. (very bad for the tranny) but i upshift hard, downshift hard, everything, on the track and road, for the last 45000 miles, no problems. anyways, you have a warranty...mine is 7/100.

I use mine occasionally when the tranny doesn't shift when I want it to.

I had an 01 stratus R/T and used it all the time. The computer knows whether its safe to downshift or not, so if your trying to downshift into 2nd at a speed it doesn't deem safe, it won't downshift until the computer says so. Another sweet thing about the Autostick, is it downshifts itself.....you don't even have to! The autostick option def. made driving an Auto fun, But 5/6speeds OWN me. I like having that much more control of my car. And using its abilities as best I can.
