Default Paddle shifter problem

Sometimes when I fire off the line the paddle shifter does not shift properly from 1st-2nd. I almost have to push and hold it for a second to get it to go to 2nd. But this does not happen every time. Anyone else have this issue?

My 08 Vert does the same but only when cold. After warming the trans, the car shifts fine. I hear a tranny tune from COW will clear this issue up. Cant wait until he comes close to my area. I've read on this forum how great Chuck is and I've heard NO complaints from anyone. Do a search on Chuck from COW to read more.

Well Good Luck!!

I have an 07 auto paddle shift but haven't had this problem. I did read here on the forum that if you drive your car a while as DJ07Vette said to warm things up.
I'd say for about 15 minutes.

Good luck,
Glen

if your wheels are spinning, even a little - the active handling will activate, and you can not shift. It ruins the fun out of the box.

You will notice a x in the shift # on the HUD if you are trying to shift while AH is engaged
