With an auto transmission, does it put any extra stress on the shifting process? I would think that it puts alot of stress on it, but I'm not sure.
With a 5spd, do you hit the button and shift or do you leave it in gear and hit the button?

I wonder about the AT too. It seems to me that you just leave the nitrous engaged while the tranny shifts. If so, it will put stress on the gear clutch and shift band. It shouldn't be too stressful though because the SVX ecu retards the engine timing by a large amount between shifts to make the shifts more smooth and reduce stress on the tranny. Retarding the timing will reduce the HP produced by the nitrous.
With a 5-speed, the nitrous is disengaged between shifts. It can be controlled by a button on the shifter, or it can be set to activate at a particular throttle position.
