Sounds like everyone has 'little' errors when setting their car up, can't say I am jealous of you selecting reverse at 120 klicks.
I have to say I am very happy with the auto in my car. I have not manualised it but have tricked up the speed and pressure through the PCM. The factory PCM also allows you to have two 'tunes' or shift patterns which are selectable with the factory power and economy setting.
As for engine braking, I found that before the valve gear in my engine shat itself at Shelby fest I was able to get the arse end to lock up while shifting down gears. Whether I wanted to or not!!
Price is good too, I would probably select a 4l80E trans when this one dies, even then they are only around $1000 new.

Looking forward to catching up with you Scotty at the Nationals, and you can tell me some stories about my trailer!!
