today i managed to change my tiptronic shift around so that it is pull back to up shift and push forward to downshift. the plug was located just in front of the shifter under the console. it was easy just required 2 wires to be swap around......i know i have a Gen 3 but i cant see why it would be any dfifferent on a gen 4.......shane

this is a gen 3 diagram

Good on you Shane. Do the Legacy's have the steering wheel buttons as well or is that an AUDM only "feature"?

I would have gone to the kitchen, collected a brown bag, dropped my dacks, pinched off a loaf in said bag, done up dacks, stickytaped bag, placed bag in envelope, and mailed it right to your face for being such a tool.

It's ok, sometimes when we herp, we also derp.

That's brilliant. Such an easy mod to change such a big part of everyday driving.

As Tony Montana would say:
In this country, you gotta make the money first.
Then when you get the money, you get the power.
Then when you get the power, then you get the women.

Smart. Be alot more comfortable I guess, just hope you don't forget you did it and down shift at the lights.

I guess another point towards the steering wheel paddle shift in the newer models.

Nice.

Mainly because all their AT boxes to date have the highest gear towards the dash and lowest gear towards the rear, as most AT's do.

Something dawned on me the other day when I was looking at an RSK and was remembering this thread....the newer tiptronics have inserted +/- symbols, but the RSK appears to have them engraved in the dash, are you worrying about completing that as well? Or is your's like the newer ones?

i have a leather boot over my shifter so it actually looks like a manual and you dont see the markings
