It's horn fluid. Get it right. And I think my powerband is worn, time to replace it.

Sorry. I get those confused. Got stranded on the side of the road once because of a worn powerband. Taking my Z to the dealership tomorrow to have the air in my tires changed.

while you're there, just get the full service:

1. topping of alternator fluid
2. topping of starter acid
3. checking/adjusting muffler bearings

Not sure about the OP uses, but for the AT, sometimes it's nice to use the shifter and not the paddles because if you are coming to a stop sign/light, you can just pop it into auto and let the car downshift all the way. Our equivalent of rolling to a stop in neutral I guess.

Thanks for the replies - I was just making sure that I wasn't missing anything and that it was abnormal to drop back into full auto mode when trying to upshift from the shifter. I ask next time I'm in the area of the dealer.

Usually I stay with the paddles once its in manual mode but wanted to double checking with the masses.

Duc - it isnt the clutch, I tried adjusting the spring and it broke so I just removed it.

Thanks again for your replies.

For the AT, the car still downshifts for you even if you put it in "manual" mode.
