Metroschultz, I'm 99% that my 2006 goes into the correct gear because it does not jerk or anything if I shift from neutral to drive at speeds above 15 mph. The only thing is that I have to shift about one second before I want to use the accelerator because that is the time it takes to shift.
That's good. Like i said you have to do what works for you and your car will tell you what won't work for her.
My car is older so I can't shift in&out on the highway.
your car is newer and benefits from better programming.
Don't worry about the detent wearing out. they are very stout pieces and you're not power-shifting for extreme reasons.
