2018 SS 2 paddle Shifters

Hey everyone,

So i picked up my 2018 2 SS last week and love it. Coming from a 94 Z-28 to this, is such an upgrade to me. My question is on the Automatic, Are the paddle shifters supposed to be active when the car in not in the Manual mode? If so, Why is there a manual mode. I looked in the manual but couldn't find any info.

Thanks in advance for the info,

Ralph

you can shift up and down when its in AUTO mode,however after you stay on your current gear for A while ( I think around 10 seconds) , I will go back to automatic.. Your car will also auto shift up and down from a stop light
In manual mode, you decide when to shift up and down going from a stoplight using either the paddles or the stick

Put it in manual mode and shift up and down with the gear shifter lever. Or use the paddles when ever u want.

There are a few tricks you can look up
For example, while in automatic mode hold down the "- shift" , it will drop to a suitable gear and max out the rpm. From there you can shift up using the pedals. Good for sudden power on the freeway or if you are trying to pass someone
