bubba Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 A proper sequential setup is pull back to go up a gear and push forward to go down a gear. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/266628-triptronic/page/2/#findComment-4553555 Share on other sites More sharing options...

nickcorr Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Correct.Just a shame a lot of car makers don't see it that way BMW used to be the wrong way around, push + pull -, but they saw the light several years ago and corrected it to push - pull +. Ford and Mazda have always been the correct way. Stems back to Audi, who basically invented this, with Porsche, on the Tiptronic. Their mentality was that you push forward to change into first and the seed was sown.. They also knew that some people would not like that, so offered, as a cost option, gearshift buttons on the wheel... It is a feature used to get people into auto's, who previously would only drive manuals. They still think that they have control. As transmissions get cleverer, with more and more gears (7 for merc, 8 for Lexus) there will be less and less convenitional manuals, with automated manuals, such as DSG, and very computer controlled autos, becoming the norm.
