Same here. Made me stop using it. Haven't had a chance to take it to the dealership to find out what's wrong with it. It simply will not change gears unless I go back into drive or use the paddle.

I use the Tap Shift only when I'm in the Rocky Mts touring through hairpin curves and steep grades other than that never use it.

I use the tapshifters 99% of the time, its a night and day difference once you get a good transmission tune

Google the following "2010/11 or 2012+ Camaro paddle shifters" and you'll see some available Paddles for our Camaros.
That gives it a real nice feel, but doing sharp turns and turning at a stop sign when you need to shift to second is not so easy. I think camaros need to upgrade in their tapshift because camaros=speed lovers. Camrys have paddle shifters Camry=conservative suburban mom. The Tapshift would be most greatly appreciated on camaros than a camry!! They should have the type of paddles that you see on Ferraris such as the F12 berlinetta ones that are stationary and you dont have to twist your right hand around to hit the paddle while you steer with your left. Even if you do have bigger paddles.

This sketch is with an on/on switch, you can substitute it with an on/off/on switch with the off position disabeling both sets.

Can you recommend me a good switch I was looking around and I'm unsure which one I should purchase
