You need 2 things: A Tune that includes a TCM ( Transmission Control Module Tune ) and the Throttle Controller. Both mods will help you get very close to an instant shift , without anymore delays. |

I use it all the time, its so much quicker because the auto trans shifts low at about 3-5 rpms.
Sadly I couldnt get a stick my first car was manual and a daily driver like my camaro, I live in La and have a 1 hour - 1:30 hour commute to work so the clutch was a bitch. The only time I don't use padel shifters is in traffic

Its a great thing to learn barley any cars use stick anymore. Also I saw a article saying in new performance cars the auto is faster than stick, and remember they thats a race car driver using the stick and the computer beat him. Tbh soon there will be no manual Cars just padel shifters

rig2014SS . . . Thanks, I was just going to ask if anyone had that CDF shifter and how they liked it. I have read the posts on that thread and it seems that everyone that installed them... love-em.

DreamDiesel - people have been predicting the end of conventional manual transmissions since the 1960's, and the article you saw (and the R&T online article that I saw) are only the latest in a long string. For many varieties of enthusiast driving, paddle shifters are a clear improvement trying to work a "stick the lever in 'D' and forget it" arrangement manually between the gears. But I've wondered for a long time about gating a console-mounted lever to move a lot more like a conventional MT shifter for manually selecting the lower gears. I remember being so glad when manual transmission shifters were taken OFF the steering column and put back down on the floor that it still feels like a half-step in the wrong direction to put any shifter back up there again.

Just got my SS and was playing with the paddles a bit today. I'm not sure I quite understand how to use them fully. With the car in D can I use them or should it be in M? What is the difference between M and using the paddles? Sorry if this has been asked a billion times before. Appreciate a link to previous discussions on it or school me now.

To disable manual again hold the right paddle back for a couple of seconds and the car goes back to auto in Sport mode. The car is fun in manual and will pull pretty hard all the way up til I chicken out! Cam |

I don't use them very often, but enjoy them when I do. I like that just one downshift disables AFM until I resume sport mode by holding down the + shifter.

I didn't care for them much untill I got my exhaust done. Now I use them all the time. (However when I'm cruising at highway speeds I will go back to auto Sport mode so when I step on it I don't have to try and down shift two or three gears with the paddles when passing)!

Yes that may be true but it's too easy to end up in the wrong gear using the paddles as opposed to having a stick. This way I just mash the peddle and the car gets it right every time!

I use it for winter driving in lower gears, that's about it. Helps keep me on the road when there's lottsa snow.
