Before using the paddles.. He should move the stick to the left so the auto doesnt auto-downshift for him.

yea it was more of a step down trying to push the clutch and the edge of my shoe caught a bit of the parking break and caused it to fling up.

felt like metal vs shin and my shin wasn't the winner
