Autostick manual shifting
Hey guys. Just a quick question about the Autostick. When shifting, do I need to take my foot off of the gas? Would I be doing any damage if I didn't remove my foot when shifting?

also a neat feature... if you hold the shifter to the left (while moving)... the car will down shift in to the lowest gear possible for best acceleration.

As a matter of fact, if you forget to shift or are not quick enough, it will shift automatically right before you redline. Aren't compute
rs wonderful?

I don't even shift anymore... The transmission has learned my habits and will even hold gears in the corners at the track.
The Auto-Stick in these cars are VERY intelligent.

Re: Autostick manual shifting
In standard auto mode, do we have to hit the switch on the floor to get the car to shift into the next lower gear? It seems as though that's what needs to happen in my car. Again, this is in automatic mode. If I don't mash the pedal to the floor to actuate the switch, it stays in the gear I'm in and is sluggish (obviously because the revs are low).

old post I know but is that really true? you mean your car just stays in an "aggressive" mode?

Re: Autostick manual shifting
Ya I would try that drive by wire reset procedure and see if it changes anything.
I do have a sprint booster on my 04 but even before that it would downshift without a full to the floor throttle press.
