Of course at the track it stays in Drive. Not planning on any spinning then. I like shifting when I want to shift. So if any unexpected cars or trucks try to run im ready to rock. Thats just me. I'm sure not many people consider my easy driving very easy.

With a 80e you want to be in 3rd, doing so applies the overrun clutch. Tim, the low roller clutch is only holding when in 1st gear regardless of shifter position.

The overrun clutch is applied in 3rd gear while in manual 3rd, if in D then it is not applied in a 60e.

On the street I play with the shifter. On the track I've had back to back runs only a .01 sec difference with leaving it in 3rd.
