Based on all accounts i can code the manual shift functions do downshift, upshift so ill stick with my purchase and just loaded on a bunch of M-Performance stuff.

Car is on VESSEL TIGER right now. Getting excited!

Unfortunately you were misled, here is the literature:

"8 speed auto trans with adaptive transmission control provides extremely fast synchronized shifting in either the Automatic shift mode or by the race inspired steering wheel mounted paddle shifters"
