I knew there had to be someone who actually liked this transmission. Never met anyone who did. I spent half of a 2-day M-school in one and the rest in the manual. Night and day difference but at the end of a long, hot day, the SMG was the lazy way around the track.
So rough in daily use that it mandated PDC for parking.  |
Took me about 6 months to adjust from manual. From that point on you can do everything like blip on down change , flat foot 3rd to 4th track sweepers without unloading the car etc. also speed of gear change and no .5 second torque delay as you got with manuals.
For daily like 4th shift stage was really good for manual and 2nd stage for auto ( didn't use )
I would laugh when my manual buddies would drive it as they couldn't master it and I was generally in for a jerky ride.
