more agressive automatic shifting. it firms up the line pressure to deliver harder shifts. the thing is with "manual mode" on autos is that you can down shift and whatnot or start in a lower gear and hold it there longer before shifting up. but unless your tranny is built stronger than stock it will wear and tear on it. the only way to have a true manu-matic is by installing a manual valve body in your auto so that you have to shift up when driving, no more just putting it in OD and rolling as if you put it in OD, you wont start in 1st and go thru the gears on its own, it will be in 4th gear when you take off.
