Is there a way to switch wiring so that the upshift is pulling towards you and the down shift is pushing away from you. Exact opposite of the factory set up, which is insane?

Install paddles, it's easy.

I think the shift directions are appropriate. You, sir, are the insane one here.

I second the paddle shifter install. It is apparently rather easy. I use them daily.

When you are being pushed back in your seat under acceleration, pushing the stick forward makes no sense. Check out Porsche, BMW and others. Theres are correct, pull back to up shift and push forward to downshift. I would install paddles buy I don't want to tear into it that much. Thought a simple connector switch would be a simple fix. Thanks

Thank you very much Geezer. That's what I was asking about.

I prefer nissan's up - upshift and down - downshift versus BMW which is the opposite. It feels cooler to pull it back or down when you downshift and then slap it into a higher gear by pushing up when you get to that point. I never liked BMW's up/down. It's all about what you're use to though.

Even in a manual car, the majority of the time I would downshift, I was pulling the shifter back or down unless it was 3rd gear. Then I drove a BMW and it was weird haha, probably the same thing you're experiencing now, just the opposite. Good luck with your shift change. The + and - won't line up, but who cares, it's just cosmetics and you're the owner/driver =]

Can I install paddle shifters on a 2012 RWD ?

GeezerB

Yes, but check to see if you are pre-wired. Here is just one source. You may find it cheaper when you know what you need to order.

How do I find out if my car is pre-wired?
