YOu have the normal gas pedal range of motion and the notch you feel all the way at the bottom is a switch...it should automatically down shift the car from 4th to 3rd, assuming you are in 4th gear while flooring it. that is what i have read, and it appears to do that on my auto TI, so thats my final answer... with a manual car, you dont need a switch to down shift, so i would think it is smooth the entire way, but ive never driven a manual TI __________________ 1995 318ti Active Pioneer Speakers [] Aluminum Billet door locks [] ACS Pedals/Deadrest [] ACS Shift Knob / E-Brake Handle [] Clear Corners/Tails/Sides [] Sylvania Exterior Lighting [] Custom CAI [] Dinan Engine Chip [] Dinan Transmission Chip [] H&R Race Springs [] Tokico Illumina Shocks [] BMW X-Brace [] Relocated Lighter Mod [] Custom iPod Mod http://www.cardomain.com/id/robcarync |
