Manual mode is tricky. I am sure if you search you will find tones of info on this.

Hey there its Phil from Eurocharged (i also have a c32). Drive the car in Manual at the track! The car will automatically shift at 6200rpm for you. that way you can do your burnout in 1st and then drive up to the line, hit the gas, and go

Yes, that'a what you do. If you want to shift sooner, just shift sooner. You should experiment between Auto and Manual and see which one gives you better results. For me it was Auto.

Got to tell this little story, about a year and a bit ago , i got the tcu and ecu tuned at eurocharged, the car was flying after that,done a few more mods to the car and some how a few months ago cos the tranny was jerking, my mechanic reset the auto,after that the car would do maybe a 5 meter burnout where as before it would burn rubber for up to 200 meters, i thought hmmm something is wrong here, but did not do nothing about it, l missed those wild burnouts and thought let me email jerry and see what he thinks, he said did you reset the auto without me telling him the above, l said yes a while ago my mechanic reset it, he said post it to me and i will fix, so i posted the tcu and thought maybe he could play with ecu to make tune on ecu more aggressive and gave him that too,i then started to communicate with philip too, who weaved his magic on my problem, with a very quick turn around from houston, i got the ecu and tcu back and could't wait to install and drive, boy does the car fly, i cant explain the feeling only that after i came back from driving, l needed pills to settle my head from all the power and excitement, PHILIP&JERRY are not mechanics ,THEY ARE PROFFESORS,GENIUSES,MAGICIANS, AMG SURGEONS and l can't thank them enough. for the help they gave me.
