2010 370z - VDC Question, and 2nd gear...

Zaggeron · 08-17-2010, 08:34 AM

Two new Austin Zs. Welcome. The shift into 2nd can be tricky in straight line circumstances. Keep it slow and steady on the shift especially if you are in relatively low RPMs.

If you are downshifting into second gear, then shift just before you enter the turn, without lateral force acting on the car. Upshifting into second gear in a turn (this is a less common situation) and setting off VDC may mean lower the revs before smoothly shifting, or again shift before you enter a turn in first gear.

CAUTION: If you are going uphill while turning in first gear, say winding hairpin types, turn off VDC for these. Do not turn VDC off unless you are an experienced, rear wheel, manuel driver, who can handle a loss of traction.
