If you don't know how to use it just by looking at it, maybe you shouldn't be driving.




It's so simple, it all makes sense!

It could be his first car. Don't be so mean.


When you get a to a certain RPM just shift up(plus) dont know if its up or down(some cars are different) Etc. Play learn don't be scared just dont crash.

forward for upshit, back for downshift. The 2.8 makes no power above 5500 so its not necessary to shift at/near redline.

If you don't shift before redline it shifts for you even if you in tip mode.

yeah it wont shift upfor you. i have been on long road trips with it in tipmode then forgot to down shift when i got off the interstate and then all the sudden i have no power and im at 5000 rpms in 1st...it will down shift for you tho( seems a little bit better for the trans in you down shift for it in tip mode insted of letting the car downshift...that just makes more sense to me) and to when to use it...i use it if im going try and race my donkey like 1.8t or if im getting on the interstate and dont wnt the car to be shifting up and down out of 4th/5th when i step on the gas..and like others have said dont crash it...
