AT guys,what RPM do U downshift
 

Im using paddles more, usually downshifting to save brakes.
what RPM are U downshifting to next lower gear...2500-3000K seems like a sweet spot for me so as to not overrev engine...I never downshift lower than 3rd gear.
what are your thoughts.:confused:

5k+ as needed down to 2nd gear. but dis is on my DSG.. i let the car decide when to downshift into 1st.

This is pretty much how I also handle my AT, Shifters when I'm feeling spirited and auto when I feel like being a lazy American

I exited the Highway using the paddle....100km/h,from 7th gear dropped until 3 rd gear...

^ this lol but also the bold as well.

That is a good idea, the transmission is a lot cheaper to replace then the breaks.

Down shift into 2nd and 1st and you will hear how awesome the rev match sounds. Don't worry about doing any damage to the car by down shifting into 2nd or 1st. The car won't down shift into a gear if the RPM's are too high. You will hear beep if that happens.

Use the brakes :-)

im always under warranty, trade into something else newer, cheaper than fixing an old POS...been there done that...retirement affords me this option.

Try downshifting from 3rd to 2nd sometime while at about 2500-3k rpm. The sound which comes from your exhaust is sweet, especially if you have an after market exhaust. Rarely ever downshift into first.

I've been exclusively driving in manual mode and it's 10x more enjoyable than in auto mode.

Getting my Stillen Gen3's installed tomorrow so looking forward to see how it feels/sounds different with those paired with my Invidia CBE

This all day long. The downshift into 2nd is the best. Love the Rev matching sound coupled with the exhaust note

My base model didn't come with the paddle shifters so I use the standard gear shifters which I prefer over the paddles. One hand on the wheel and the other on the gear shift feels more natural

idk,,,mainly just upshifting w/3.357:1 axle
1-2@35
2-3@55
3-4@85
4-5@125
5-6@,,,,,,can i say (18*)

I very rarely down shift w/ my auto, ( let the trans do it ) up shift only.
