HOW TO USE PADDLE SHIFTERS

[@evangrove599]

For anyone driving in sport with paddles, please don't put it in 6th at 30 mph. You just make your car slower. If you want it to accelerate as quick as possible and have the most torque, you have to keep the rpms in the "power band". For these cars it has not been clear from what I have been looking for, but it should be around 4,000-6,000 rpms. Through shifting you want to keep your rpms in that range as much as you can. From this video I learned that the downshifting is done for you when you stop which is what I wanted to know. I also like that there is no way you can redline the car because I am to scared of putting too much of a strain on the engine and transmission .

[@alexguolo5872]

the strain would mostly be on the torque converter which has been beefed up by Honda. Similar design to ZF torque converters multi plate clutch

[@joshjenkins3815]

You shift wayyyyyy to early lmao and also side note you can put it in first and floor it, if you redline it, it will auto upshift even in sport. the car wont let you hurt its self.

[@hamza4real]

Is it bad for the car if you get near the redline? I kept on downshifting cause it sounds good

[@joshjenkins3815]

You can't hurt an automatic transmission, it will adjust as necessary, manual transmissions are a different story.

[@hamza4real]

Alright that sounds good, cause I just bought the car and it only has 25 miles. The paddle shifters are so fun even though it's fake

[@joshjenkins3815]

oh yea, my friend has a 2008 Hyundai sonnata with a 4cyl, no paddles but auto manual. and I downshift it hard alot.

My new Camry has paddle shifters. I wanted a 5 speed manual, was told it wasn't available. You explain how this works well. I prefer to brake my speed by downshifting, sneaking up on lights, being in the right gear for the getaway. I will test it next time I go out. Thanks again for your explanation!

[@clsiefert]

Paddle shifters excellent for engine braking which is safe way to slow down on icy roads! Don’t brake on ice, use the down paddle shifter to ‘engine brake’ and slow down without sliding.

[@MsTessG]

Thank you!

I always drive in S mode in my 2012 3.5 tl and I use the paddle shifter all the times,you can always be in the right gear and also engine brake wich save your brakes a lot.In d mode,it always look to be in the most economic gear wich gets frustrating a lot.

[@terrencesaberon3520]

I haven’t tried using my paddle shifters yet. Thanks for uploading this video. Been very helpful.

[@entropy8000]

Basically, it gives you the idea that you're changing gears but what it really does is adjust the torque/Rpms to give you a little more control. I've only used it for quicker overtaking.

[@evangrove599]

For good acceleration the CVT and computer is just not good at making it fun to drive. Whenever I give the car some gas the rpms just fly right past the power band or stay at too low of rpms for better fuel economy. The paddles allow you to control the rpms to stay in the power band.

[@sikcivic80]

[@theoristocratic1923]

Yea, I saw that and kind of thought the same thing. Especially since I couldn't really hear the engine, due to background noise and such.

[@moffo2626]

Hey guys I just got this car. A few clarifications again. You shouldnt use paddle shifters during drive mode because there is really no point right? Also in drive you can shift automatically but it also brings it down automatically right? For sport mode, paddle shifters can use for accelerating and it goes down automatically right? When do u shift from 1-2-3-4-5-6? Does it depend on your speed? Someone told me if youre going 40mph u should be at shift 4

In the sport mode, it supposed to upshift by itself just a tad before hitting that red zone. Also, it's nice to use the paddles to downshift and use a kinda of "engine break" (a bit like a manual) ... But, like you, I don't usually drive that aggressively and 90% of the time, it's in D

You would better search and lean what does "tiptronic" and "manual shifting" means in a automatic gear boxes. Using paddle shifters in D mode is just the same as regular D + a up gear limit which you set. But in sport mode while using padle shifters you see a "M" appears on the screen which means now you are in a manual mode!

[@kevincu847]

In the sport mode: do i need to step the brake pedal first to get into 1st gear?

[@excessmaterial]

Kevin Cu No you just tap the right side paddle to set it into 1st from a dead stop. If the car is already moving and you switch to sport mode the moment you use either side's paddle it will either downshift or upshift from the "gear" it should be in according to the computer at that mph.

As your accord is a CVT transmission, it really doesnt shift any gears. The paddle shifters really just adjust your rpms.
