I have the same car as you and I'm wondering when do you use the "D"?  Is it my 5th gear? Do I use it on the freeway when I'm going over 50?

[macfan9000]

@BlueGiraffeWhale Technically that IS your 5th gear. Absolutely must use going 50MPH + (Unless you have some insane racing clutch inside that'll hold higher RPM, then you can probably get away with 4th gear till about 60 or so)

Awesome tutorial man, it really helped me out. Your truck is awesome! On this video it sounds like a semi starting out on the highway, shifting up, it's awesome!

LOL, Thank you. That's good news to hear that it was helpful. The truck is indeed a "Beast".

I was wondering on the rangers when you shift from second to third, does the shift lever automatically move up and to the right to find neutral and then you push up to go into third?

Cuz my friend says that if you push the lever up from third, it will go to the center of the shift pattern. kind of confusing question, but thx to anyone that can help.
