Cool Auto box shifting

I've read elsewhere about connecting a switch to the kickdown switch, when activated it works like the sport setting on other cars. I've done it and the difference is amazing. I just want to know if anyone can tell me if this can cause any damage.

In the kick down mode the up shift points are later, closer to you engines over rev limit, the harder, later shifts puts a lot of stress on the drive train, diff, trans, torque tube and engine. If you use your new found power wisely you should have no problems but, as with anything in life abuse it and it will hurt your pocket $$$$$$$. <img border="0" alt="[crying]" title="" src="graemlins/crying.gif" /> Just do not drive at WOT all of the time.
