If you put the Durametric on a tip you will notice that there are NO over revs, simply because, even in manual mode, the transmission will shift up automatically when it gets up to the red line (maybe slightly before?). It will also automatically shift into 2nd gear if you come to a stop, even in manual mode. See? It's idiot proof! (lucky for me
