To my ZL1 Auto friends - is it normal that when having the car in drive and pressing (for 30 secs driving over 20 miles)the paddle shifters to change to manual?

Is happening to my car and I couldn't find it in the manual

Well with my isF if I have it in drive and decide I want to us the paddles, it will go into M mode...not sure if that's what you're asking.
If so, this may be normal...well it is for the isF anyway, then again the isF has 8 gears.

On my SS I have to got to Sport mode to use paddles to shift.

Drake Heminger · 04-20-2012, 02:08 PM

Im never forced to use my paddles in M mode

In the SS the paddles will do nothing in D. You have to shift into M or Sport Mode before they become active.

When you use the paddle in D does it show Sport in the DIC... this really doesn't seem right...

My paddles work in "D" as well as "M" or as most call it "Sport" mode. BTW this is an SS.

may be something that changed between the 2010 and 2011 MY. My 2010 SS auto only allows the paddles to work in M/sport.

Interesting... all I've owned is 2010 models so maybe something has changed..

It was a change in 2011. You can use the paddle shifter while in D, but will return to normal after inactivity, where as in "Sport" mode it will stay in the manual mode.

Vettes are the same way.
