my AUTO trans does it all the way through first and when it shifts into 2nd but shifting it manually all i do is let the gas pedal go, shift to 2nd and floor it before the trans actually switch to 2nd gear, (stock tires of course)
4.0 FTW!

total B/S spinning in 3rd gear in the dry, theres just no way unless you bolt on chevy sprint wheels.

I get 1st gear spinng good and 2nd when going around a corner, theres no tires slipping in 3rd gear with our trucks its even hard in the rain.

I have an 02', 4.0L, 2wd, 30'' dunlop a/t's, a 5-speed with 60k miles.
