They really only give you those other gears for situational purposes.. Not to shift like a manual..

no! first is for first gear only, it will only stay in first gear. its used for going up hills and if you were to tow something (which you should never do with your car btw) second is also for areas where you would frequently need first gear (such on hilly roads and such) it shifts between first and second need be but has no direct drive (3rd) gear. drive allows it to switch through all gears (1st 2nd and drive [3rd]) and is made for typical driving. im sure the rest are self explanitory. your transmission (and your engine, but i wont go there) are not made to be raced. your car is made to be a fuel efficient dailly driver. driving it how you explained to us that you do is not only wrong, but it is also going to cause it to break down very often, as you have seen with your transmission springing a leak. its obvious you care about trying to make your car look nice, now start caring a little bit about trying to keep it running

Well I had it in 2nd gear a few times and I hit a high rpm and it shifted into 3rd on its own while the thing was still in the second gear spot.

And them funny cars that are putting out thousands of hp are automatics and they shift it why can they do that and not hurt any thing?

DUDE. get it through your head. your car is not made to handle anywhere near 1000 hp. neither is your transmission. if you shift it like a manual and shift it at 6000 rpm's you WILL f*ck something up. and if you had your car in 2nd gear and it shifted into 3rd on its own, there are 2 explanations to that. either a, you think 2nd gear is actually 3rd gear, or b, your tranny is already effed up. quit drivin the thing like a ricer, your car is not fast and is not made to be raced around like that. if you want a fast car, go buy a gst or gsx. or if your gonna keep abusing it like you do, then go get a honda. but for gods sake, quit rice-shifting your auto like a f*ckin manual and treat it like the daily-driver gas-saver that it is

What if i keep it in drive and floor it to 60 to keep it hitting a high rpm. will that be better than shifting it?
