My understanding on that transmission upgrade is that it benifets those with the paddle shifters only. I am a pure driver and don't have the paddles obviously. Is there any confirmation on that?
The main points brought by others apply to both M and D modes: smoother shift between 1st and seconds gears and no more squatting / rear lifting a second or few after coming to a stop with brakes firmly applied.
There is the ability to *enter* manual mode with the paddles and reenter automatic as well.
This is what I recall from the litany of posts on this topic over the last few weeks.
