@Cujet , I have three questions about the ZF8, if you could indulge me:
i) does the transmission have downshift rev-matching?;
ii) does it have "range select" control or does it have full manual control? (Just to explain a bit: "Range Select" control operates in a fully-automatic manner, but you select the highest gear it can attain. Think of it like an old-school transmission quadrant of D4, D3, D2, and D1; if you put it in D3 it'll automatically shift from first to second to third only). Range Select versus full-manual is what I prefer in an A/T; and
iii) does the transmission have a "normal" mode versus a "sport" mode (the latter of which does not seek to upshift so inexorably, and doesn't take much coaxing to pull down a gear or two).
Thank you - if I could presume to have you- or anyone answer my questions.
