Yup, I miss the manual dearly. Although, on many Honda automatics, you can short-shift from 1st to 2nd, and overcome the hill-logic control by shifting down into 3rd to shift into 3rd on a grade. Then D4 is where it has a mind of its own. TC lockup wants 25-35% TPS input for full-lockup in sub-60F temps -- I don't drive more than 20% if I can help it...and 3-4 and 4-3 shifts are unpredictable.

I don't know what kind of fun stuff is going on in there with engine-off coast. I guess ignorance is bliss until it quits working. From a financial standpoint, I may have to decide on trans. longevity and/or a manual swap if/when it fails all vs. FE. It's one of the only ways to to get the Teg to achieve reasonable in-town FE. Ugh, what to do...I'm not selling selling it, so that should save some posts.
