Noob question : When to shift using paddles
Hey guys,
Trying to learn how to use the paddle shifters or master it lol. When do you shift when you use paddle shifters? At every gear, do you shift at a certain rpm like 4k 5k 6k or at redline?
Thanks

^^ Differences in auto up-shifting in manual mode (or bouncing off rev limiter) may be related to a transmission programming production change postulated in the 3rd gen IS forum, as it seems, based on posters' experience, some ISs will bounce and some won't, as there looks to have been a transmission programming production change around Nov of 2013 for the IS model.

negative. Accidentally redlined twice in manual sport+ with trac off on a spirited drive. All it did was bounce off rev limiter. The pop pop pop sound made by my Borla sound sexy as hell though..
