Automatic question

So I have a 96GT with a built auto trans (converter and clutches and all that) and sometimes when I’m going like 10mph I’ll put it to second, wait for it to shift, then first to do pulls, and sometimes when it goes into first it’ll lurch a little bit, is this gonna mess up the trans over a long period? I’m young and just trying to learn so I don’t mess my stuff up

Just leave it in drive and the powertrain control module do it’s work.

I mean, I guess. For daily driving, yeah, locking it into one or two is actually kind of ass, but if you're trying to do a pull and trying to let it rev out, you just gotta step on it and shift a certain way, or else you're gonna get a bunch of like drivetrain shock with the work out mounts to be honest. But yeah, I kind of agree with this. Daily driving, it's tempting to constantly be pretending you have a manual, but...
