Had a pretty hot Mustang back in the day, not much traction in 1st. You could take off in 2nd (small dot) then pull back to drive (green dot) once rolling, at that point it goes back in 1st. Then manually shift back to 2nd (small dot) then back to green for 3rd. The shift pattern was PRN2D1. Kind of a pain but, I don't think Ford engineers had performance driving in mind, a couple years later they changed it to PRND21, with 2nd still being manual.
@@bikeclochard it will make it downshift to 2nd or 1st depending on where the RPM lands did it with my 66 coupe I wouldn't advise doing it "all day every day" but it does work
With the c4 in my 68 cougar I launch in first gear and bump it into second close to redline, I leave it in second and around 70-75mph it will shift itself into third gear. I haven’t tried pulling it back after clicking second to see if it will hold second longer because my car is apart at the moment.

that's exactly how it has to be 👍

So if i come to a red light. I have to start the process again?
Is this the best gear pattern to “drive it spiritedly” at a stop?
how do you downshift manually? seems like you can only upshift?
drop it in low
@@jlmljames but it seems that dropping into low just keeps it in first or second, it doesn't donwshift that way

@@jlmljames oh ok, I think now I understand, thank you for the clarification!
would this work on a 1967 c4 mercury cougar?

That’s one way to ruin your transmission! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
lol why ?
No these transmission are designed to do this ..
@@IrishMike22 it literally talks about this in the manual why would you need any aftermarket mods?
