Default Automatic tC shift ****. Secret feature.

I wasn't sure if I made a mistake going with an auto (90% city driving), but today, sitting in traffic, I found a new feature with the shift ****. Unscrew it completely. Take it off, and turn it upsidedown. Now blow over the hole, like you would to make noise from a beer bottle. Yup. It doubles as a nice whistle.

Next time you manual transmission drivers drive off the road and get stuck in some remote ravine and your horn breaks during the crash.., you'll be wishing you had a whistle shift **** to signal for help.

Auto > Manual

And if you unbolt the muffler and beat on it with a regular stick you get a nice metallic ring too.

Dont worry about it i also got an Auto same percentage of city driving since i live in the city of Chicago and if your going to make your Tc a race Car Remember at the Track AUTO is king no misshifts, no shifting to early stuff like that yes manual is fun if you can take advantage of it, but in the city what a waste of time and gas, Manual good for circuit racing hmm whistle blower huh must try lol

Ok, that's it! This is by far the stupidest, useless, pointless, worthless, waste-of-forum-space thread in the history of SL.com. And I thought the "vs" post were pointless. This is the new grand champion of worst topic ever! Bring back the vs post cause this has to be as bad as it gets!!! :o

Our Auto ***** don't have a button in them either, hence the way the shifter moves around in a mazelike pattern.
