hi guys...planning to get a forte soon so tot of asking u guys abt sumting that i noticed.... went for test drive on both the 1.6 and 2.0 and felt great abt both cars...definately worth the money...i have one question however,when i engage the paddleshift it will change gears by itself the moment it reaches 6k rpm...im sure the reason for it is to save the gb from being over revved...but is there a way we can not let it shift by itself and decide when to shift when we want it at high revs? sorry if this has already been asked before but tot of checking this matter out with all the proud owners before going furhter....appreciate your feedback on this...thanks.

6k rpm or so is already the max rev that it can achieves then follow by rev cut... so why would you wanna rev higher than that?

i asssumed that since the max in rpm was at 8k i could go at least close to it maybe up to 7 or so at least till i can decide to shift again...that way it will serve its purpose to use the pedal shift.but then again ur right i guess the max is already felt at 6k rpm...reason why im asking this is because i used cars that could rev up to redline (8k/9k rpm) and tot that that car had some prob thats y wanted to know more abt it... rclxub.gif

I think the 8k rpm indication is there so you will know when you've KO-ed your engine lol... Prolly won't happen, ECU won't let it.

Paddle shift is so that you can control the gears when negotiating a tight corner or in stop/start situations where you don't want the GB to change up. Depending on the throttle position, the ECU will tell the GB to change gears at the programmed rpm to either cruise, maximise economy or maximise pickup.
