Got your attention didn't I?
I know how to drive a stick but these paddle shifters are confusing me! I have many questions. Why is there not something on the dash that shows me what gear I am in? I am afraid I am going to upshift and have it dog out on me or go so far as to drop the tranny to the pavement. Do I maintain my speed when using them or should I be off the gas? Does it matter? Are there certain situations that you find yourself using them all of the time? I live in a snowy climate. Do you use them with snow on the ground? I have also noticed that the EX seems to shift differently when in D versus S mode. Anyone else experience this? Please help! Thanks
