same as driving stick in a way...you can start by pushing it to 1st gear then shifting up ..you can downshift....whatever you wanna do...just don't be a dumbass and have it all the way at 6000 then you try to downshift then....
Something to keep in mind about this system. Touch Shift doesn't let you shift. What it does is, if you set it to first gear, it will stay there as long as:
A) you do not shift; and,
B) the engine reaches red line.
Also, as long as the engine won't be in red line, you can down shift to the best possible gear for acceleration or deceleration by holding the shifter to the left for one second. The system really doesn't let you shift as a manual.
