          On my 93 the tranny is totally non-electric so if I shift manually it shifts much firmer for some strange reason...

            Shift it! I almost always get quicker ETs shifting myself, unless I F up.

              I tried shifting myself and I always got lower ET than if the computer did it. I would stick with the computer auto shifting.

                At the track I put it in drive, but normally I just put it in OD. It even says in my owner's manual "for better acceleration, use Drive rather than Overdrive" but I don't feel a difference anyways.

                    Just leave it in either. It won't help/hurt you either way.

                        Actually,
                        in non-electric 700R4s (4L60s), when you manually shift, you usually shift at higher rpms. The higher rpms creates higher line pressures within the trans giving you a much firmer shift.

                            Actually if you want the truth, you can't shift more efficiently than the tranny does on it's own. Do a little research and you will find this out for yourself.
