2006+ owners: How much "fun" is your manual shift on your SC430?

im talking about shifting into a higher gear, our cars dont have a rev limiter, for example if i were in L and i punch the gas pedal and never shift to second it will just keep redlining until your eng blows eventually (god forbid) and if you dont get to that point you will at least do some damage to the tranny! so all im trying to say is becareful cuz the car acts a couple of milliseconds after you do(shifting)

okay I must be stupid but how the hell does a 02-05 shift? I believe you have D, then move to the left and you have 2, 3 and 4, right? So you are saying to just rev up to 5k or so being carefull not to rev too high and then punch it up to 3, then 4???
This can't be normal, is it???

From reading this thread, make me realize I have never turn off the VSC, I am gonna try it to see how much more fun it brings

well just to refresh things the next time you drive a 02 430 while shifting from l-2, 2-3 etc redline it then shift, do that a couple of times and say hello to a f****d up tranny..
