a couple of things.

this is an AUTOMATIC you are talking about, it is not related in any way shape of form to a sequential roller barrel actuated race box, please remove all such thoughts from your head.

YOU ARE WRONG...let that sink in....better than 75% of all auto boxes are forward to shift....as are most upshifts in what has been standard for years....the 5 speed h pattern gearbox...1st UP 3rd UP 5th UP...only second and fourth are down,,,,in down shifting it is a split...


Automatics have been manually selectable for some time with the standard

pattern...and since you are driving an automatic...not a manual....it makes far more sense to maintain this same pattern...because this is a street car,

if you want a reverse manual selection, switch the wires and be done with it,

if you want a manual transmission....well....you paid extra for an auto...so obviously you didn't...
