Automatic Trans Shift During Restrictor

Has anyone experienced shifting an automatic in manual mode as the restrictor kicks in? Basically missing your shift a hair late? I wouldn't imagine it's healthy so don't do it but the car kicks forward acting like it's a much bigger machine than it really is.


This is how I feel when it happens to me: SKIP TO 4:40

**So to better explain. Going full throttle you hit the rev limiter and as soon as the RPMs start going back down, you shift. So like I said before, you basically missed your shift, hit the rev limiter and shifted in the short time the RPMs are on their way down. I'm not saying I do this, I just accidentally missed my shift by a hair a couple times and noticed this. Again, this is probably not healthy for your car but when second gear kicks in it feels kinda cool. Kinda like the vide I posted.
