This reminded me of something....

I have a 3 speed 350turbo trani (no overdrive).

When I drive down the highway I dont see any reason to down shift manually (my cable is not hooked up).... If I did I would only stay in second for like two seconds before i had to shift back.

Do you all see any reason to hook up my downshift cable? I dont think I need it do you?
