downshift button is on the front, upshift is in back of it

works pretty good for a automatic gotta keep your mind on what yure doin though

Does this come as an option or does it come with all of them? Also how can you tell what gear your in, is there a display or something? If it is a option how much?

[XYRCNCP]

there is a display it's in the space between the 0 and 160 on the lower right corner of the speedo. It shows as 1-2-3-4 and M-Mode to show the sportshift mode....I'm not sure its an option though.

sportshift comes with all auto GT-S's i beleive...

[dx316gol]

Great, thanks guys, Do I press a button to switch it to manual mode? Refering to XYRCNCP post, so does that mean you cant tell if your going in 2nd or 3rd or what u just have to remember? or does it say 1-2-3-4 too for the manual mode?

Sorry for so many questions, but also how do you get to reverse on a sportshifter?

[LordZelica]

it shows the writing M when you're in sportshift... and on the right of it, there's the number 1,2,3,4 and a small round light beside it to tell you which gear you are on...

[dx316gol]

Also how about netural?

[CryoGT]

Don't forget that you still have a stick on the floor man..! (for neutral and reverse..)

[dx316gol]

You mean the stick with drive, netural, park, etc? So you can use a combination of both the sport shift and the stick next to u? At a stop light would you put it in netural?

It is exactly like any other automatic exepct for when it is in drive you can pull the stick to the left which puts it in M mode or sportshift mode. You can only use M mode while the stick is in the D position.

Sorry, but one more question, how would you put it in netural while in manuel mode?

Sportshift isn't a manual transmission. It's just a regular automatic that you have limited control over (switching through 1st through 4th gears).

You don't need to put it into neutral when you come to a stop. If you really have to put it into neutral for some odd reason, just move the floor shifter into N.

You can drive it like a regular automatic by putting the floor shifter into D. The transmission will shift by itself.

If you want to control when the transmission shifts, move the floor shifter into M and then you use the buttons on the steering wheel to shift up and down. The display on the gauges will tell you what gear you're in. You don't have to worry about misshifting either, because the transmission will not allow you to switch to a lower gear if it will overrev the engine.
