i dont understand what you're saying. when you ground one of the shift signal pins, the tcm interprets that as a shift request. the black box on the a/s shifter must do something different, because it has a lot more than 2 wires going into it iirc, but why bother going to any more trouble than you have to when just shifting it that way feels great? the shifts seem to be a little firmer than normal in a/s btw.

and to further explain about the how to get into autostick, the tcm uses the signal from the trs (transmission range sensor) which is the sensor that reads what position the shift lever on the tranny is in (which of course is connected to your shifter) so it really has nothing to do with the shifter itself.
