Silly little question for Auto Guys
 

This is not meant to upset the die hard manual crowd.

When i bought my 370 i thought i would use the paddle shifters more.
But i find myself using the stick shift more when i'm in manual mode.

Just wondering about what the other guys are into.:driving:

Paddles 90% of the time.

I knew you were dirty trips. :p

:tup:

I tend to use the paddles more because when I try to use the shifter in manual, I find it would have been better the pull back to upshift, and push forward to downshift... Well Nissan doesn't agree with me, so usually what happens is I'll get goin, and pull back on it causing a massive lurch forward lol followed by a string of obsenities from me :bowrofl:

Yea Chris, I find that my bimmer had the same setup minus Paddle, in reverse, and now trying to relearn it again makes it a little getting used to, so I said screw that! I'll paddle shift instead.

i quite agree with this sentence, i hate how all manufacturers do it differently. tempted just to open it up and swap the wires around =_=. wondering if its possible and how easy it would be.

paddles. by there is a thread on which wires to swap for the guys that want to reverice the way the shifter works.

I will said one of two, paddles or shifter should be installed for "manual" driving by the factory.

I thought the same thing. I think I only used the paddle shifter once or twice just to check them out.

Almost always paddles. I have long arms ;) and the position of the stick isn't comfortable.

I use that strange knob in the middle that requires my left leg to hit an otherwise unoccupied pedal with timing. For some reason, when I don't, the car just stays still and revs. :confused:

Took a while to get used to the stick. I use the paddles when I need both hands on the wheel though. I only use auto mode in garages.

I drive the manuel, and always pull towards me to down shift into second so this seems natural, I agree with Nissan. I am always going through second unlike fourth and up. Yes I push forward to down shift into third from fourth but fourth is a far less used. Maybe it is because a manuel stick tells you what gear it is in by feel.
