Is that bad for the engine if you switch when you're driving? I was test driving with a dealer in a new g35 car and the dealer did that and it wasn't a test car.

BTW you guys like the automatic w/ shift mode whoever has them?

I heard that it was bad because of switching gears or something like that; that could mess up the transmission.

None issue.. when your driving at highway speeds and you move it to manual, it downshifts to 4th, I like the car, automatic very much!!!

ya, it downshifts because it goes to whats called the 'passing gear'.
