Default quick paddle shift question

do the left and right side paddles allow upshift/downshifting?
I see + on top of both sides - I only have use of my left hand, so left paddle doing both up/down would be fantastic.
Also, I understand the trans shifting can be tuned for crisper shifting. Does that apply during paddle shifting as well?

no cars around for me to test, I'll get an answer here faster, than search for the car..

Both paddles will shift up and down (they both do the same thing). The shift firmness will will impacted with the tune adjustments. Ive had it done and know firsthand.

There is a schematic somewhere on the forum that shows how to change the configuration where one side upshifts and one side downshifts.

From the OP's original post, I don't think that would interest him.

A tune that includes an A6 trans tune really wakes up the car.

However, there is lots of debate about whether your warranty will be voided or not, my take on the discussion is it probably would be void.

Just something to consider.

Check Forum Vendor/Guru ChuckCOW's site for details on his motor/trans tunes.

I'm 63 years old in reasonably good health but wanted the paddle shift in case down the road I have trouble with a clutch. I really love the paddles ,if you lift of the gas just a split second before you shift up it sounds exactly like a manual.
