One tool that is popular with sport car enthusiasts is paddle shifters. What are paddle shifters? They’re a rapid shifting tool that is typically seen in sportier or higher-end trim levels because they allow for a sudden gear change. They’re usually found on the steering wheel or just behind it where your fingers can have easy access. The car can be moved down a gear with one paddle “shifter” and can also be moved up a gear with the other paddle on top or by the side.
