Shift bleep notification

I set mine at 5500. I'm getting old and stupid(er) and find myself forgetting sometimes whether I'm in auto or manual mode....the flashing light at 5500 is a reminder to stop trying to remember if I took my Geratol and to pay attention to the fun at hand.

Yeah I'm still getting used to my 370. My last ride was an exterra.

Leave car in manual mode all the time, shift gears like you would in a standard, enjoy the SRM. Learn to listen and feel the car and don't look at the shift light.
This car gear hunts and lags like all AT´s, manual mode is way more fun.

Yes I agree about the gear hunting and that is what is disappointing to me. If I want juice! I have to floor it and expect a bit of lag for it to downshift and give me what I want! Otherwise if I just want more speed and push on the pedal, it still stays In 6th gear at 40-50 mph at 1500 rpm's. It's irritating! So its like either punch it and expect lag and power or paddle down 2 gears and get the power I need! So that being said! I'm going to start using trip or the paddles.
