Paddle shift

At slow speeds and requiring turning I am forever hitting the left paddle shifter with my finger. Obviously that put the car in 1'st gear and causes problems; probably because I'm too old and too senile to drive properly.

Is there a way to turn it off save removing a finger?

I am forever grateful.

removing a finger? I am sure that will be a better solution than remove your finger

Just glue some staples on the shifters... you will be avoiding hitting the shifter in no time!
