What is shiftronic transmition in cars, what does it add and how to handle?

Question:


Answers:

Which gas stations are known for having quality gasoline?

It is still just an ordinary automatic transmission the difference is there is a slot at the bottom of the the shifter gate that allows you to push the shift knob from side to side.
So basically when you put the shifter in that posistion its in "D" (Drive) just like anyother automatic but while its in that slot pushing it to the "+" side or the "-" side of the slot will shift the tranny up or down accordingly.
The only reason for this set up is to give people who cant drive a stick shift, or dont want to drive a stick shift the ability to feel like they are driving a stick.
It really offers no real benefit to performance.

Is it possible (or even wise) to drop rim size to save money on the tires?

shiftronic simply has an + & - for easier shifting fr high gear to low gear. + is for low gear & - is for high gear.

Do spark plug wires really need to be replaced every time I change the spark plugs?

The question has already been answered so I'll add my 2 cents.
I have a car with shiftronic, but I barely use it. I've only used it a few times in the last 3 years. It's a pretty worthless feature in my opinion.
