Mine is the same way!!I run an auto-203-splitcase and love having the gearing options. Especially running the auto I haven't needed it to be lower. For whatever reason my 203 isn't always the smoothest to shift back into high and sometimes it's just easier to turn off the engine, shift it, and start the engine again if it's binding on me. For those running the blackbox is that a smoother shifter? Always liked that option.
It's just easier to shut the rig down and shift.
