All the complaints are related to using the auto mode - so stop using it. This is like telling ther doctor it only hurts when you laugh - so he says stop laughing. This situatin is humorous nontheless.

I remember when one of your fellow Canadians wanted to know if there was a way to turn off the air conditioning compressor in defrost mode, and a lot of people wanted to know "why would you want to do that?" Typically, most folks have a reason for doing what they're doing, and for wanting to make a change to something! To them, it's valid! To use the same "doctor" analogy, if I tell the doctor "it only hurts when I laugh" and he says "Why would you want it to stop hurting", then that's faulty logic, IMHO! Have a nice day! :>)

Yes I agree - to them the reason for doing what they're doing may be valid - but that still doesn't make it reasonable.
Also - I agree that if the doctor says "Why would you want it to stop hurting", then that is faulty logic and that's my point - people are doing things that are hurting yet they persist. My point was to stop doing the thing that makes their experience with the transmission a negative one and start operating it in a more enjoyable manner.
