7AT, Paddle trick/feature I found...
I don't know if this is in the owner's manual or not, but I just found it out this morning... If you hold down one of the paddle's it will automatically put the car back into drive (if the shifter isn't in manual mode of course). So if you just want to down shift quickly for a pass and have it go back to drive, you can do that. I think you have to hold it down for about a second or so before it will switch back to D.
You can also do this to force it back into drive whenever you want. Say you down shifted, and then go back up to 7th, you can then hold it down so that it goes back into drive mode. It's uses are probably pretty limited, but nonetheless I found it pretty cool. :tiphat: |
I let my buddy that has an evo drive my car once a while back and he figured that out for me. I haven't used it at all though since I've gotten so used to being in manual mode all the time. Also just so you know if you're in auto mode and then down shift with the paddle you can hold it down to revert back to auto mode or after a short period of time it will automatically revert back to auto mode.

Flashburn-
Thanks for letting us know about this feature. I tried it on the way home from work today and it works great. Before I would grab the shift lever and push it in to manual and quickly back to drive to get the tranny to "time out" if you know what I mean. This is much better.:tup: AZ |
Thx for the tip! I didn't know about that feature

So I still don't get what would be the point of switching from manual mode and then back to drive really quick for the this "timing out" or whatever? Someone explain please?:tiphat: |

I thought I did a decent enough job explaining why I thought it might be useful. I'll just keep my mouth shut from now on, especially if it is something to do with the 7AT. Too many tranny douchebags around here, who seem to just come in to berate people and post off topic bullshit.
I'll just lock the thread now, **** you guys! :wtf2: |
