How do you use the manual shifting?

You cannot put it in manual mode directly from neutral. And to rev and drop it in auto mode is not giving you any benefits exept a damaged tranny, so don't try. There is a little benefit from reving with the brakes applied (use both feet) in launching, but that overheats the tranny, so don't hold it more than 5 seconds like that.

Isn't holding the brakes and pressing the gas, then releasing the brakes bad? What I mean is, some people here talk about revving while in manual shift mode. Talking about 6k rev then dropping it into 4th or something. That's what I mean, how do I do that?
And I can't recall any ATX-owners commenting about revving to 6K then dropping it into 4th. For one that would be stupid and pointless, since you'd only want to rev off the line when you want a good launch, so you'd be going into 1st. Revving and dropping into 4th would kill the engine in a heartbeat.
Perhaps you can find one of the comments you're referring to and someone could help you out with what they're talking about by looking at the context.
