Whenever you momentarily move the selector to drive and then back to manual, it will again start out in first. In other words, after having used the paddle to shift, you need to return the selector to drive and then back to manual is you want it to start out in first. I have not taken by car out since reading yur post and posting this answer but this is how I believe the tranny is set up. You will probably verify before me because I probably will not remember to try it.  |
No - I'm talking about while using the tap shifts (manual mode).
In D (Drive) and M (Sport) - modes where the computer does the shifting the computer always starts you out in 1st gear from a stop. But when in M (Manual/tap shift mode) when you're using the tap shifts to change gears, the transmission only drops to 2nd gear at a stop.
Ever since I got my tuned for my converter, my transmission drops to 1st gear when I come to a stop (while using the tap shifts - manual mode).
