Out traction control is not a full out constant on system Only works up to 20 or 25 MPH after that it disabled until it is back at 20/25 mph.

IT is nice in some spots but if you learn to drive most of the time it is better to have it off.
I always drive with it off and pref shift on.

Also pref shift in long run can be thought of a tranny saver. Why? Quicker shifts thus less stress // Heat on clutch packs. Why shift kits are so nice too.
