Yes, it's tricky with the gate so close. The shifting is so smooth but going into fifth is almost intuitive as much as a learned technique. I'm just into the sixth day of enjoying the yellow beast. Boy, do I love the air intake and exhaust sounds. Especially in sport and track modes.

I've not found the default setting for the exhaust sound. But, I'm learning the menu. Happy shifting!

I also saw where you can disable the 1st to 4th forced shift.

GCC. I just figured that out today. Thanks for the help though. Now I can drive in Econo Mode and sound like Sport and Track modes! Great engineering default for us who like ear candy. And its sweet.

Odd. I have the opposite problem. I go for 7 and hit 5th. If you go from second to 7th, it will be locked out. I've tried. It takes a second before it will give you that gate. 7th really feels far away from 5th to me. I definitely haven't missed 5th yet.
