Toeknee_33 Turbocharged November 29, 2017 Share November 29, 2017 Maybe you need to train the ECU to react faster. I used to use 2.2L NA 6 speed. No such issue le. How to train? With a whip? I used to have another 3L NA 6-speeder, not such issues. Its in the programming I reckon. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soya Supersonic November 29, 2017 Author Share November 29, 2017 No, its a 7-speed torque converter auto.Slow kickdown is typical of 'intelligent' conventional gearboxes in our stop go traffic. Either reset or drive it like you stole it for a short while for it to 're-learn' your driving style Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merc280v6 6th Gear November 29, 2017 Share November 29, 2017 D mode is to maximise fuel consumption, that is why it shift up as fast as possible... and i agree S mode is really too aggressive never shift up before 3k rpm... but it is smoother then my current dct... are yours TC? could it be the turbo lag?? Errrr ... you mean D mode is to MINIMIZE fuel consumption? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vratenza Supersonic November 29, 2017 Share November 29, 2017 i see paddle shifting a good compromise between that of a full manual and a full automatic. Gives the driver who wants a little more control over how the car downshift/or upshift the option to do it during certain occasions while enjoying the benefits of a full auto during the dreary traffic grid lock. But not all tiptronic/paddleshifts are made equal. Some are more responsive than others. Partly also depends on the gearbox and the engine that it is mated to. Those who hated the paddle shifters probably tried a lousy combination. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER-3682 Twincharged November 29, 2017 Share November 29, 2017 Yes, I use my paddles often, everyday. Why? In my 7-speed car, when I depress the accelerator for more power or kickdown, the chain of events goes like this: 1) Accelerator pedal sends an email to the ECU requesting for more power. 2) ECU increases fueling to engine but still not enough to meet demand. 3) ECU sends an email to TCU requesting for downshift to lower gear. 4) TCU replies: "Are you sure? Kindly confirm". 5) ECU responds: "Yes, please". 6) TCU authorizes downshift, and the engine roars to life and delivers the needed power. It takes all of 2-3 seconds. By then, an intended overtaking opportunity will have disappeared, or, if I am are merging into an expressway, a truck may have already run into my backside. Using paddle shift perhaps sends the email directly to the TCU, and reduces the delay to maybe 1 second. This sound like a Mercedes Benz 7G Tronic. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tjon 4th Gear November 29, 2017 Share November 29, 2017 I used it for overtaking. Going down spiral carpark. Slow down the speed at sharp corner. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
