i do not. I only drive in manual when i'm feeling free spirited. Thats the joys of an automatic.

Im only in manual mode when having fun or when I anticipate the transmission doing lots of auto shifting because of traffic conditions

95% of the time, Im in D

You can switch the pins for that.

Yeah, open up the shifter housing and you can simply pull the wires out and swap their positions, with some wiring experience.

I only put it in manual if I want to get up to 100 (60) quicker.
