Anyone know if shifting an A/T Z in Manual Mode at 5,000-6,500 rpms can damage the transmission at all..? Was the Manual Mode of the A/T designed to mimick stick shift Z's and unlock the full power of your Z, or simply to get your Z out of mud or snow?

 

You can beat the **** out of your tranny if you are stock and you will still not harm the car. Dont worry about manual mode. They were made to take a beating. I drive my car all the way to redline than shift. you are safe bro

 

I know alot of people don't seem to like the auto tranny, but I just got one and love it.. Haven't missed a gear yet

 

Dont worry about it! Teh Car will protect itself

 

Ok, thanx guys. I have my reasons why I got an A/T. There are advantages and disadvantages to both trannies but A/T ended up being the better decision for me. Just wanted to make sure that I could unlock the full power of my car without worrying about damaging anything.

 

Yeah, the stock redline is nerfed man, many people have safely increased redline to 7100rpm. Of course don't do this without a proper tune...

 

Shift when she screams.
