"Secondly, I have been told not to shift manually because when you do it uses a second gear band instead of clutches, is that right?"
Question above asked by Paul A but no answer yet so a new thread. I think that I have heard that Manny says to shift into second manually when climbing because there is more pressure on the bands and/or clutches. What is the correct thing to do?

Armand, I believe that is what Manny says, but do it with the accelerator pedal down and "on the go".
