I wasn't actually power-shifting, but going up a steep hill.  This
transmission has a tendancy to shift into 3rd gear almost immediately (at
about 10-15 mph) unless you are flooring it.  I was going up the hill at
maybe 15 mph in 3rd and the motor was pinging and the tranny wouldn't
downshift 'automaticaly', so I did it 'manualy'.  Only I pushed the wrong
button.
