I ran across this Steeda video where they use a stock Mustang and go over the drive modes as far as how and why. I found this interesting and informative as my last Mustang was a 68 GT.

I'm new to the A10 on my new Mach 1 and I've been getting used to paddle shifting compared to shifting my 15GT manual .
My question is if I'm in S mode and using the paddles, it seems like it will automatically downshift for me when coming up to a stop light. It's smoother than me doing it if I'm just driving normal.. Is this OK to do? the last bit where it finds 1st gear seems a little rough sometimes.

Yes, normal and a nice feature. I always forget to downshift when paddling. I don't driving stick though, which is odd.

The trans has learning capabilities and might smooth out after it learns your driving style. I noticed the same thing with first being a bit clunky, but I seem to notice it less as I drive more. I might just be getting used to it or the trans is getting used to me.

I’m posting this on here for all the M1 Newbie 10R80 Owners. :)

This thread has the info you need to review to understand the differences between the Transmission Modes AND the Center Stack Drive modes, as well as the paddle interactions.

Also for many that don’t know, the 10R80 is an adaptive learning transmission. The longer you drive it, it adapts to your driving style.

THIS below thread contains anything and everything one needs to know about the 10R80. In the first post, just review the FACTS items and the “10R80 Newbies” bits and check out the attached PDF’s to learn about the 10R80. The thread also contains a lot of help for those who may have a 10R80 that is acting up.

Enjoy your new Mach 1’s!
