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
I think you're talking about when you're in full automatic mode and you go WOT from closed loop, correct (my last car was AT)? While that is technically skipping gears, I meant at-will. Unless there's something I'm missing?
