Same here - yet I do like the heads up display Red\Yellow\Green lights telling you when to shift

guys this still isn't working for me I read through this, went out and made sure to have 0% throttle/acceleration when in manual mode and holding the downshift.
Performance shift mode works. Is there some kind of setting I'm missing that might "lock" manual shift mode? I'm confused and a little disappointed as activating manual mode in my old 5th gen or even more recent 392 was so much easier. any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. For reference, it's the 10spd ZL1, 2019. |

Not that it matters too much, because I use the skinny pedal tap-to-floor method for performance shift mode almost every time anyway.

The paddles can be used, it's just that you need to touch them first before you can downshift to lowest, at least this is how it works on my A8. I'm not too keen on the paddles due to the software's reaction time. It would be cool to have "inverted" paddle switches that activate on release (start of switch travel) instead of when the paddle tops out, cutting about 0.2-0.3 seconds off this reaction time, I'm sure the feel would be much improved. On that note, I'd also love to see gears all the time, even in D, I have no idea why cluster engineers decided to only display this information in M mode, or why they couldn't at least make it an option (say, only available in sport and track modes).

Stabbing on/off the gas pedal does the same. Puts the car into performance shift indicated on the dash and is ready to boogie.

After I do that the car should be in manual mode and I can upshift or downshift using just the shifter? However it then says that I while in DSC I can put it into the paddle shifting mode, hold long for the lowest gear etc. It looks like the step I may have been missing is the pushing of the shifter forward or backward AFTER pushing it over to the left. Does that make sense or am I still missing something? It's late tonight, I'll probably try tomorrow after I fix the tire pressure and before I wash. Car was a little all over the road tonight at 100ish I'm chalking that up to uneven tire pressure and not necessarily the most even flat road. |

I only use the throttle blip to get into performance mode and let the car shift for me.... since it'll shift faster and better than I can and won't fall on its face if I don't shift at the correct time. And performance mode activates way faster. |

As others said above, in Auto, give the peddle a good stab and the trans drops to the gear it wants, but if I then go WOT, it spins the tires if I'm below say ~100-120mph. Manual works better for my car.

Ok, now I'm just at a loss. I did the exact steps in the owners manual to activate DSC and nothing happened. But what I did notice was that when I slapped it to the left, the light remained red with D but didn't even go red under the +/-

And btw activating full manual mode in the 6th gen ZL1 is as easy as pie, it's as simple as moving the shift lever over into the manual position (left position). Couldn't be easier.

To activate automatic performance shift you have to be in either sport or track mode. It doesn't activate in touring mode. In sport mode, a quick stab of the throttle will drop it down a few gears. It won't necessarily always go to the lowest gear possible like the left paddle hold while in manual mode.

Sounds like this is something that should be covered under the powertrain warranty right? |
