Limey, check out this thread:
AT Shifter Mod: Reverse the Up/Down Shift Directions I had this done and swapped in a slightly nicer and lower sitting knob (detailed here: DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic and here DIY OEM Shift Boot Install on Automatic ) Makes use of the shifter work much more intuitively -- I use that now more than the paddles -- love it

I still don't understand why anyone would change to this, its logically backwards. I'm going to pull back to shift up? up and forward are more logically related than up and back ever will be. What am I missing?

My argument for it (and presumably the reason sequentials go that way): it flows better with the g-forces in play, especially under braking. With the stock arrangement, while you're being thrown forward against the harnesses under braking you're trying to pull back on the shifter to downshift, whereas when you're being pushed back into the seat under acceleration you're trying to shove forward on the shifter to upshift. With the reversed arrangement, you push forward when you're being pushed forward, and pull back when you're being pulled back.
You probably don't notice this logic in street driving, because you're downshifting to accelerate and upshifting when you're done accelerating, which is the opposite of normal. On-track you're only ever downshifting while braking or upshifting while accelerating. Last edited by wstar; 05-15-2014 at 05:49 PM. |

What's with the three-pedal orthodoxy getting their collective panties in a bunch in this thread?
It's a shame so many people openly and proudly stake their manhood on the transmission of the car they drive -- gentlemen, prepare to be neutered in the coming years by all new sports cars and exotics... The GT-R, LF-A, and 4C, just to name a few, are aiming to geld the lot of you it seems... better stock up on 1993 Civics to keep testosterone at optimal levels.
