hello, The flappy paddles of the steering wheel, can they be used the same as a 5-speed stick or do you have to be gentle with them? When I go to pass some one I’ll drop it in to a lower gear and I shot past them. Is the good idea?
The paddles should be fairly robust, I doubt your thumbs would exert enough pressure to harm them.
Thanks but I was wondering about the transmission. Is there a clutch than engages the trans.
Thanks,

Why do that when just pressing the accelerator pedal will accomplish the same thing.

The paddle shifters are nothing but a switch. The transmission has clutches but it is electronically controlled so you can’t hurt it even doing this.
