Im not sure on your A4 but in my old car (01 Grand Am) I couldnt shift into 1st or 2nd if I was going faster then 5MPH. Car just wouldnt let me. Im sure that your transmission is the same.
Regardless, Id like to hear exactly how the paddle shifter will work and what the guidelines are (or if there are even guidelines) and so on. |
I'd like to hear that too. Don't forget, paddle shifters are
only a user interface, they don't have anything to do with what transmission you have, what programming is in the transmission control module, etc. They can just work like my truck's column shifter works when I shift from D to 3, 2, or 1; or they can be programmed to be more obedient, giving you the gear you requested even if it's not a gear that the computer is happy with. The computer can probably increase the line pressure for firmer shifts when in paddle mode. It can delay in case you need a second to paddle to your selection, or it can shift ASAP...all depending on design and programming.
I'm sure the Camaro will be setup decently.
