Another case for bringing back the manuals!

Granted, some of the info in this piece is likely inaccurate, for example that whole "money shift" - the trans would probably not allow for a shift like that.

Thankfully, as one of our commenters has pointed out, the shifting error won't actually destroy your engine, and instead, you'll get a message that tells you that a downshift is not permitted.


I have only used mine a few times, but it sounds like it is really a "non-issue". Have you tried to replicate it on yours?

I haven't noticed it on mine. Apparently this only starts happening after the shifters have worn in some.

Personal preference, I suppose. I use mine all the time. Keeps the drive more entertaining, and keeps rpms in the powerband. Plus, I find the auto trans downshifts somewhat anemic/hesitant, even in Sport mode.

I miss not having a manual trans, so this is the next best thing.
