I've wondered the same - but how do you know what gear it's in?

I have counted what seems like the gear changes, then pulled the paddle shift and it is never on the gear that i am expecting... |

I wonder if the ID tool could change the display?

I also do a bit of flappy action - mainly downchanges.

Cancelling manual mode by holding the up-shift tab works for me as I almost only ever up-shift but if down-shifting then swapping to sport mode momentarily is the only viable method due to the lack of a specific button. |

Yea - cos it sometimes is a bit asleep when I suddenly want to overtake and pressing the throttle doesn't always result in a fast enough getaway I have to us paddles. You do thepass, come off the throttle and it stays in the lower gear... you want it to change up so you use the up paddle, so the timer starts again for it to go back into D. Pain in the bum.

Just hold the up-shift paddle for a couple of seconds longer after a manual up-shift to resume full auto mode. |

Are you convinced this is a gearbox issue? 405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus 93 RR Classic efi Remember it's easier to get forgiveness than permission!

Maybe with the IDTool? I don't have one but it would be interesting. And massive thanks to Freddie the Fish - have tried the up and hold technique it's great! Have been downshifting manually then a long hold on the upshift paddle which gives me one manual upshift then back into D. All with one long hold! It's GREAT!!! Works really well and solves a little bug of mine with this otherwise fantastic gearbox. It's gone from almost the perfect manual & auto combination to the perfect combination!! .

Not tried it yet, but I did read the manual and it is in there. Not like me to miss stuff like that.
