The paddles work in automatic mode (stick in D to the right ) so you can change gears when you want, the indicator in the dash goes from D to whatever # gear your in and reverts back to D if you don't use a paddle again after ~10-15 seconds BUT ( the annoying to me part) it still (not rarely enough) does some gear selection while it knows you are giving it directions thru the paddle shifters by re upshifting just after I tell it to downshift (when throttle off coasting to stop) or rarely (but extra annoyingly) if it and you both decide to upshift it will skip up 2 gears in one go
still, 90+% of the time I don't regret going MT 350Z to AT 370Z. |

It will also downshift more than one gear, if you are in drive and floor it to overtake , pulling the downshift paddle twice makes it jump to the lowest possible gear ie from 5th to 3rd

If you're going to hammer it to overtake, flooring the pedal will give you the quickest change from whatever gear you're in to the lowest gear possible. If you're shifting down to prepare for the overtake mentioned above, I personally move the shifter over and downshift in anticipation...

I try this in my wife's new subura with"eyesight" and it won't let me hit anything, very annoying, it also won't let me tailgate people who pull out in front of me and go slow, might as well get a self driving Google car and put a new ford movie screen windshield in...

daily driving = stick
any racing/aggresive driving = paddles

If you are in Drive at highway speeds (6 or 7), switching to M will put you in 5th. I use this all the time for passing slowpokes.

I do a combination of leaving the car in D and use my paddles when I'm flogging. My transmission is El Slippy after running 100hp of nitrous from 4th to 5th. I pretty much expected my transmission to break but it hasn't yet. I'm getting a Level 10 1000hp transmission, TQ converter, and valve body upgrade coming up next week (possible tomorrow). I'm looking forward to pairing the new L10 goodies with my AAG flexplate.
... It's been a long winter of buying. |
