hey guys i jus bought a 05 g35 couple white , i was using the triptronik but im not sure if im doing it right. Do i keep my foot on the gas and shift or let go my gas then shift ?

 

keep your foot on the gas

tiptronic

 

Where does the word tiptronic derive from?

 

I keep my foot into it. If I am messing around i'll shift between 5-6k. Most of the time I'll keep it in drive

 

BMW calls it tiptronic infiniti/nissan calls it manumatic

 

i think i heard somewhere that porsche first called it tiptronic

 

^ yep, Porsche calls it tiptronic, Honda calls theirs sport-shift, Dodge calls theirs auto-stick......pretty much every car company calls it something

 

in the M3 it's SMG for Sequential Manual Gearbox.

 

I believe it was an old old wooden ship...use in the civil war era!

i call it buyastickshift

 

u have to match ur rpms with ur speed. the higher the rpm the smoother it will shift in tiptronic mode =0)

like i would shift out of first at 4.5 rpms and the shift from 2nd to 3rd gear somewhere around 25-35mph and wont shift out of 3rd until atleast 60-65mph and 4th atleat over 100mph =0)

it def takes getting us to

Technically I beleive you are supposed to not have your foot on the gas when you're shifting.

Side note - anyone heard of a manual tiptronic? lol. Just kidding thread poster!

 

+1...That's what I do.

 

Yeah if your driving a 6mt but your not its an automatic all the time, tiptronic just gives you control over when you want to shift. You can let off the gas but you don't have to.

 

SMG is not the same as the manumatic. entirely different kind of gearbox.
