nah. theres many safetys and failsafes in place. the only real way to break that tranny is by adding a lot of power with boost.

with that being said there is always a chance that something off the wall or rare happens so dont quote what i said above as fact that you cant harm a stock tranny on stock power lol seen a few stock blocks go boom so anything is possible but unlikely.

RTFM. If you didn't get an Owner's Manual with your Z, you can download one from this site or Nissan's web site.

Exactly the same as using the stick. You don't actually have control of the transmission - the stick and paddles are just switches that tell the TCM that you want to change gear.

I have the manual and know how to use it basically.

I just don't know how to use it for faster acceleration or other practical functions ..

I'll check whether the manual explains about it.
