On a side note, does anyone know whether there's a difference between "sport" on and manual and "sport" off? Does going to manual automatically put you into sport mode? Always wondered. |
Pretty sure sport mode changes the throttle mapping and shifts are faster (and less smoothed out). Also, manual mode does not automatically engage sport mode (otherwise the dash light would come on).
Apparently there is a DIY for your perceived backwards shifting. Personally, I like it the way it is, but, each to their own preference.
