But how does Manual work, I don't know how to work it properly. This post has been edited by Eternal Firebird on Nov 1 2016, 01:58 PM |

If you're really new to manual..you have to shift up. https://youtu.be/lZz5iqR6kGk [ Post made via Mobile Device ] This post has been edited by DK_Brawler on Nov 1 2016, 02:26 PM |

Since you've been playing with auto, you could just observe how your gear changes according to speed and the tachometer and learn from it. From IDAS4 to 8, you basically shift up as your tacho needle approaches the red band, but for better accuracy, look at the speed at which it changes. | ||
