Does anyone know if a paddle shifter kit exists out there for the auto tC or even a sequential sports shift (AKA manumatic) feature? I know the 2008 xB has the manumatic mode in its tranny. It's really sad they didn't put it in the 2008 tC, though. Anyhow, any info is appreciated. Thanks!!

 

nope

 

that would be cool if they had paddle shifter kit for auto tc

 

retrotekspeed.com make them for 1500....

Paddle shifters on single/twin clutch gear boxes: cool.
Paddle shifters on automatic transmissions: lame.
Paddle shifters on CVT transmissions: [CENSORED BY FCC]

 

I still support paddle shifters for automatics

 

if you want to shift gears yourself, get a manual, if you don't, get an automatic, if you want to pose, get something with a manumatic.

i've driven my dad's porsche cayenne s (tiptronic) and my mom's subaru legacy 2.5 gt limited (sport shift), and those stupid little paddle shifters aren't any fun. you just ask the car to shift ,and if the computer says it is alright, it will.

 

anyone think about transplanting the new xb gen 2 auto...would that work?basically smae engine..shouldnt it be same ecu?

 

Only way to know is to get ahold of the '08 xB wiring diagrams. They completely changed ECU's from '05-06 on the xB, so it wouldn't suprise me if they did it between the tC and '08 xB.

 

No...

 

x10. I rented an IS 350 once and was so disappointed on how bad the paddle shifters were, i just left it in D.

 

hmm I drove a BMW with paddle shifters once and I actually thought it was pretty fun. Nothing near like an actual manual but a good time nonetheless

 

buy a new xb strip it put the engine, tranny, and ecu in your tc and let us know

 

sounds like a fun project for the weekend
