nooooooo downshifting into first. thats a big dont.

i accidentally downshifted into 1st on a up hill stop and put my tranny into limp mode. thought i was one gear higher and didnt look down when downshifting. seriously thought i blew out my tranny.

also saw people saying change fluid. also a dont on the 7at from what i understand.

Are you serious or kidding? Can't tell sarcasm over text.

It's almost the worst thing you can do to a transmission, even with a double clutch. Just use 2nd.

Really? Interesting. They should just take 1st gear out of the tranny then.

I'm not talking about full redline downshift. Like it was mentioned before, going over a speedbump at say 10 mph.
