A10 hold left paddle 3 sec drop to lowest gear-WORKS Every Time
Okay so this one evaded me til now. Holding the left paddle or the shifter to down shift position for 3 seconds will automatically drop to the lowest possible gear.
Great feature that the magazines said didn't work all the time and the same was true when I first tried it. It seemed to work once in a while, but not all the time. I'm sure it's been mentioned here because KLR ZL1 said he saw it and gave me the info to try, but I figured it was important enough for a thread. This is an awesome feature and really glad to find out it works EVERY TIME if you do it right. Accelerator position must be 0% before it will work. 1st tap either paddle to get into manual mode and then hold the left paddle for 3 sec with no throttle and it will drop every time. You can even be holding the paddle down and ready to go so as soon as you let off the throttle it will drop. Great for roll racing and soon as it drops jump on the throttle again. Works very fast so pretty very about this one. Of course the shifter is the other way and maybe even best to keep it in manual while cruising. Then pull back and hold the shifter 3 sec and release throttle and hold on. Goes all the way to 3rd gear at 70 mph |

This works on my A8 SS. Been using it since I got it last year. Didn't realize there were outlets saying this didn't work.

I guess I kinda gave up on it, because I found another way. I think my method may be even faster and easier. I've not tried the various drive modes, to know if it works in any mode, but I know for sure it works in Sport. Simply, very quickly tap the gas peddle to the floor and it will drop to the lowest gear and hold it, but won't accelerate, since you're not holding the peddle down. As long as you accelerate within 7 seconds, it won't upshift. If it happens to upshift before you go, simply tap it to the floor again. If you want to make sure it doesn't upshift, you can always pull the shifter to manual, then push it back to auto when you go, if you want the car to shift for you.

Now once you do this, I'm assuming you're in Manual mode so be ready to click the paddle come 6200 RPM? How's the paddle response in these A10s from an owners perspective? I remember trying to use paddles on the Z06 and the CTS-V and the paddle response is slow the point that you had to click the paddle at like 5500 RPM in 1st/2nd to make sure you didn't bang off the limiter...

Click down one gear then and then click again and hold, never had a problem with not working, not a Z, but just my experience.
