Dagosa, according to his post, it only makes him wait before IT shifts on it’s own.
There’s nothing stopping him from shifting himself.
Since you already told us how it’s designed to run, and what you feel is the problem (which is what it was designed to do), then maybe you need to replace the car for one that does exactly what you want?
My suggestion: leave it in drive, and don’t touch the gimmicky paddles…or learn to drive in manual mode like everyone with a manual has to.
