Ok man, I think you are safe now to start the training . I will do a short vid on sat and post it . It makes a huge difference in performance and gas mileage LOL.
We should hit Famoso in the fall . If I am driving to Sac , Bakersfield will be so EZ.
I am very interested to see an E63 with 030 run the 1/4 mile! WOOOOHOOOO
It is critical we get your car ready to compete for the top time in a 63.
Once again CONGRATS on a great choice , your car to me is perfect

So I just installed my new DTM steering wheel and everything WAS working perfectly, steering wheel buttons, shift down/up, etc. until I proceeded to "train" my car per this thread by holding 1st gear after downshifting via the left paddle while in "D/S" and right as it hit about 7000 RPM the car shifted into 2nd automatically. I then let off the gas and tried to down**** to 1st again via the left paddle and NOTHING and worst yet I couldn't shift up either! I was stuck in 2nd gear and could not shift using either paddles. I tried to switch out of "M" and into "D/S" or "D/C" and NOTHING. It was stuck. I contined to drive, luckily about 30mph and finally I was able to shift up via the paddle and turned it to "D."
Now I cannot downshift using the left paddle at all??? The right paddle upshifts when in manually put it into "M" but I cannot downshift via the paddle in "M" nor can I automatically downshift to 1st from regular "D" like I could before.
Help anyone? Is it my wheel? But it was working perfectly before I tried to push my car by holding 1st gear.
Thanks in advance.

My car never did this.....
I've been training my car using the same method for the last 4 days, and I finally got it to shift at 6500 rpm instead of 6000 rpm so I'm assuming it's working

With things wired correctly I tested my car and noticed that my car shifts out at about 6800-7000 when I floor it from a stop after pulling the downshift paddle while in D/S. Could it be the help of the Sprintbooster?

Yeah mine is all over the place today the car shifted out @5800 OMG, now its jerking when shifting from 1st to 2nd. Im taking her in and I will ask service manager to smooth my car out. We need Samssonz to chime in on this he owns the only 63 that ALWAYS SHIFTS PERFECTLY
