Down shif t

For  some  models,  the  paddle-shaped  upshift/
downshift  lever  has  been  fitted  near  the  steering
wheel  to  allow  the  driver  to  operate  upshift  or
downshift  with  his/her  hands  kept  on  the  steering
wheel. The paddle shift has the following features:

｠

The lever on the right of the vehicle is for upshift and
that on the left is for downshift.

｠

As the paddle shift is fixed on the steering column
to  maintain  the  certain  position  regardless  of  the
steering wheel angle, the proper operation can be
performed without possibility of improper up/down
position  even  when  the  steering  wheel  is  fully
turned.

｠

The paddle shift can perform the upshift/downshift
operation whether the selector lever is in the sport
mode or automatic shifting to provide a rapid shift
operation.

NOTE: 

When the mode is changed to the sport

mode using the paddle shift during automatic
gear shifting, the sport mode is cancelled under
the following conditions.

｠

The upshift lever is pulled for 2 seconds or more.

｠

The vehicle is stopped.

｠

No operation is carried out for 55 minutes.

｠

The  main  components  are  made  of  magnesium
alloy for weight reduction and a sporty look.

GENERAL INFORMATION

M22500000001USA0000010002

The 2-piece, 3-joint type propeller shaft with a center
bearing is adopted.
It has the following features:

｠

The DOJ, which is of less sliding resistance, is used
for the No.2 joint to reduce idling vibration.

｠

An insulator is installed to the vehicle body joint of
the center bearing to reduce vibration.

｠

Inside the rear propeller shaft, the dynamic damper
is integrated to reduce a booming noise caused by
the resonance at high engine speeds.

｠

Adopting  the  friction  welding  method,  the
installation  structure  is  streamlined  to  reduce
weight.

｠

Lead-free grease is used for the universal joint.
