Default switching up/down shift on center console

Is there a way to switch the down and up shift in "M" mode. ( backwards for up shifts and forwards for down shifts)

Yes. There is a thread or two around that gives the details on the necessary wiring changes. Or if you just want a plug and play option, Tom's sells a kit that will do the trick. http://www.tomsracing.co.jp/products....php?mprID=265

The toms kit is for the paddle shifters, the consol shifter is easy just remover the two angle side pieces at the front andremove the shift **** (thread on), pop the shifter cover up and switch the wires on the plug for the shifter. The thread is detailed to show though.

this mod would make Matt Farah happy. He criticized the ISF for the shift directions not being the same as the motor sport applications. In the end if you dont drive with the paddles you are just doing it wrong

I agree that the paddles are the way to go most of the time. However, there are situations where you're really working the steering & it's much easier to use the console shifter rather than hunt for the correct paddle. Pulling back to upshift would be so much intuitive for that.
