you can actually skip gears going down but not up in the AT

gears you can skip

3rd -1st
4th - 2nd
5th - 3rd
6th - 4th (wont do it at 60mph but will do it at 80mph +)

i bought an AT because my left knee has problems and i had problems using the clutch in my previous car(caused pain). probably didnt help that my last car had an unsprung racing clutch lol. Also I didn't want to wait for aftermarket clutches because i can't stand a stock clutch. the pedal travel is horrendously long on a stock 86 lol. im used to about 1/4 of an inch off the ground and the clutch starting to engage lol
