And the tranny shouldn't allow you to put it into first at any speed above 20mph, and in 3rd gear you should at least be at 80mph if you're speed shifting.

So in conclusion
Including the fact that lets say your down shifting from 6th to 3rd. when you pull it out of 6th the tranny automatically lines you straight up with thrid. Same thing if your going from 6th or 5th to 4th, you have to be driving like an asshole to be craming it back into second or first. The harder you shift doesn't make you faster.
