need to learn how to drive auto.
 

Ive been driving stick nearly all my life, anyone have any videos or advise on how to drive the 7at the best ( exciting ) way possible for when the need arises? thanks.

pull the paddles when it is time to shift. Be in D not R for best results.

Those are good points , I concur with this wise man.

I do have to add though, even thought I've only driven the 7AT for about 20 miles I found it best to shift at redline :tiphat:

Do you live under power lines?

eat paint chips as a kid

left foot on gas pedal and right foot on brake pedal for best results.

Hahahahahahahahaha....why?

I must admit that I am getting used to and love the down shift ability whilst in D. So far I am mastering that technique.

Funny you mention the redline. I was in D and a couple times floored the gas pedal, noticed the red limiter blink twice.

Cruising, I usually upshift just after 2K; higher, natch, if accelerating briskly.

The gears seem to be matched to MPH quite a bit -- I find 4th will automatically downshift at low speeds and below 2K, where as, say, 3rd and 5th are far more forgiving.

A lot of it is just getting used to what speed vs RPM vs gear for downshifts -- when coming to a stop, if fairly quickly, I will skip 4th entirely and just actuate two shifts so I'm rolling to a stop in 3, then blip to 2, and then 1 at under 5 mph.

Alternatively, you could let the ECU handle down shifts and you just control up until it feels more natural.

Note that the ECU learns your shifting habits, so it may feel a bit quirky in D for a few days after rowing through the gears manually.

also recommend letting the car downshift for you when coming to a stop. Likes to fight you if you are manually downshifting 2 - 1.

I normally don't down shift past 3rd manually. In fact come to think about it I never do. As you mentioned I let the car do that bit. Downshift 3rd is sweet spot for engine braking normally for me.

it frees up one of your hands so you can fap while you drive :tup:

The first few days i had mine i couldnt avoid running 1st up to 4-5k before shifting just in casual driving. I got alot of wtf looks when i went slow into 2nd and 3rd. Now just cruising i will shift into 2nd at 5mph. So smooth

Must confess never tried that.
