Hey, just wanted to ask other G37 owners if they've used the paddle shifters on their G and if the tranny shifted the gear when you hit it or if there was like a short delay? Just wanted to know if that's normal. Thanks!

 

It's normal. I have the solution though: https://www.myg37.com/forums/misc-vendor-items/182792-betty-s-garage-grounding-wires.html

 

+1^^ LOLLL

I was waiting for BB to come around

 

haha me too.

 

I have a solution too, 6MT

 

x 1 zillion.

But if you didn't do that, well... you know what to do....

 

yea the paddle shifters on these suck. i drove an a3 the other day with paddle shifters. much better

 

Was the A3 a DSG or Sportronic tranny? If so, you are comparing a full automatic transmission to a double clutch computer-shifted transmission. Kind of like comparing apples to road apples.

 

A lag is pretty typical, I've actually never driven an auto G37 but I definitely noticed a lag in a friends CLK and my old X5.

 

I had a teck grounding kit on my IS300, didnt improve much at all. Hopefully this 1 works.

 

It wont make it a 6MT, but it will certainly help some. How much it helps depends on the opinion of the driver.

 

The lag is rev matching, once you learn how to use it, it pretty cool. I've just installed BB's kit, need more driving time to see if there's any improvement. I did just sqeal tires with VDC on and on dry hot pavement...touchy little thing our throttle. Thought the light turned green and it hadn't... no traffic and decided to burn through..and litterally did.

 

You think it's touvhy now, you should feel it with the Blitz Throttle Controller. When I was testing it after install, I had at the highest setting and I was getting the slip light at every turn.

 

Yea I predict that thing will be dangerous, I'd like improved throttle response, but I don't want my throttle being an extremely sensitive hair trigger. I'm sure we'll see folks running into walls parking or backing up if they don't have the cable for reverse disengagement. Someone's bound to forget to turn it off sooner or later.

 

It is automatically disabled in reverse. It defaults to off every time the car is turned off so you have to manually engage it each time you start the vehicle.
