This screenshot was taken yesterday while I was looking at the Ford website's coverage of the Detroit show. Look what comes after "A five-speed manual is standard...". Has anyone else seen this mentioned anywhere else?

The Lincoln LS uses the same 5R55S trannie and it is available with "SST" Select Shift trannie.
It has 2 shift gates, left is P-R-N-D5-D4 - all auto shifting.
The right gate is + / -
+ to upshift, - to downshift.
Whatever gear you put it in, it stays there.
You can run it right up to fuel cut off in 1st, 2nd or 3rd gears if you want.

News to me. Although I know Tiger Racing has developed a paddle shift style transmission for the S-197 model. They told me they were working with Ford for future development.

Maybe it means your can shift through 1, 2, and 3 below drive.

You can shift it through the gears, I have done it. :drive:
One more thing, it also states that the GT has 300 HP and 315 lbs of torque. It should say 320 lbs. Wonder who approved this one???

Won't this hurt the tranny over time if constantly done?

is that why the auto has 1-2-3 and D instead of L1-L2 and D
Can you shift through 1-2 & 3 ???

Yup, its one of the most WORTHLESS features on a car. The reaction is slow and unituitive. The modern auto works better in D then anything the owner could do. It s one of those things you forget about in about 2 days after buying it. You either get the auto, the manual, or an SMG. "autoshifting' is stupid. Leaving it in 2nd or 3rd on an autocross is about all you'll ever need.
