No slap shifter darn it.... Posted by Mike Lynch [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Re: tell me about tiptronics...how does it work..., Hunter, Thu, 3 Aug 2006 22:23:52 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I really like the Sentronic in the 9-3SS. It comes with a slap shifter and my shift brain is wired to my arm, not my fingers. I was hoping that would be a a 2006 MCE improvement, but alas, we're stuck with having to carefully select the "M" before we can begin paddling instead of reliably just slapping and going.
Also an important note, a Sentronic 9-5 will upshift at redline automatically. This slowed me down on the autocross at the Aero Academy, not being in the expected and/or desired gear for corner exit. A Sentronic 9-3SS will not shift up at redline. Select a gear and you get it forever, like a manual should.
