Not sure if this question has been asked, did they change the paddle shifters ? IE: the left is for downshift, right, upshift. Just like the majority of cars are.

I find the ones on my C6 awkward.

Raitzi

Yes. Now they are like with race cars.

CaryBob

Interesting. Push for upshift, pull for downshift seems intuitive to me.

Raitzi

Well that is just a matter of preference. Rally cars work like you said.

Sounds like initially they're using the same 6L-80 auto tranny as the C6, so I bet the paddles will work the same way.

I like the C6 paddle setup because I can up or downshift with either hand.

Raitzi

No they won't. They only move to one direction.

I think it was stated that the parts are new. New as in never been used before.. All things are possible.

That woul be an improvement, atleast you those of us that are video gamers and use the paddle shifters on the wheel.

I have not sen anything thta the paddle shifter on the A6 has changed, but I don't think it would much of an issueas there is a post on the C6 forum on how to shange the wiring so there use just the back (sownshift) paddles only.

I would love these, but I'm sure at some point the transmission will take over and shift for you. Don't like that.

With the A6 80 in the sportr mode and the shifter set, (at least in my 07), it will not shift unless you hit the paddle.

Real question is did GM finally address the delay in the paddle shifting found in the A6 and the coast down gear hunt which really dulled out the driving experience.

Mine was so bad it actually would clunk into gear at low speeds [3rd to 2nd down shift 10-25 mph] becuase it couldn't shift into gear properly. Most all A6s I drove had this problem.

I do hope they addressed this, as this is a problem that I also experienced in the C5 but not to the extent I had it in the C6.

In my 2011 GS the paddles were always active. In my 2012 CTS V the paddle/button on the right side is for upshifts and the left side is downshifts.

I solved this by adding a third pedal.
