Default GS4 Strange Manual Behavior

Hey All

I've been working with a few oddities when using the manual option instead of drive and want to run them by you to see if anyone has had similar experiences.

        I havent experienced any of these issues in "D"

        Thanks!!

        Lol just warm up your car. I driven and owned more than 30 cars in my lifetime of many makes and models and they all have their quirks when I didnt warm them up first. So I always have a remote start in all my cars and warm them up before i drive in any mode. Its not wise to drive in manual mode when car is not warmed up. You can wear down components in transmission and engine prematurely and vehicle is at is most efficient when warmed up. You will consume more gas if you drive the car hard with a cold start.

        Yes my 4GS does this too if I didnt fully warm up while in manual mode. I went out and tested it to see what your talking about. So your GS is not broken.

        Cosign what Al13N said. The 4GS is not a morning person. Don't ask her to do anything extra before she's warmed and lubricated.
