or just leave it in manual mode

i honestly cant tell you the last time i actually had it in regular auto mode. maybe when moving it a few feet out of the garage to wash it lol
It's not that big of a deal to me. Just seems kind of dumb for Nissan to not show it when all it would take is a little programming (no other hardware needed).

The longer I drive the Z the more I use manual mode. First car I've had that had an auto like the Z's. Still haven't gotten used to using the paddles; I end up bumping the stick.

i only use the paddles when drag racing or track driving or similar style where both hands need to be on the wheel.

normal everyday DD'ing and whatnot i use the stick. actually i have worn a smooth spot on the shift knob

one or two above what it should be at...

I'm always in manual mode because it wants to find the highest gear possible all the time and with modded exhaust system it just sounds bad...that and its more fun.
