[QUOTE="NKTOB, post: 537832, member: 2762"] Well, these are what I found at e90post. This is what the guy did...on his SSG paddles. I'm not too keen with using my thumbs on top of the wheel to shift gears (awkward) and thus prefer using them like proper paddles using my fingers behind the steering wheel. Left hand paddle to Downshift. Right hand paddle to Upshift. With this intent, there are three ways you can modify your paddle setup. For use with finger sqeezing behind the steering wheel, all the mods described below work the same way (left paddle-downshifts, right paddle-upshifts) with only the thumb press arrangement changing. I hope I'm not confusing anyone ??? [COLOR=Blue][U](FACTORY DEFAULT)[/U] [/COLOR] [COLOR=blue]LEFT PADDLE [/COLOR]- Thumb press - downshifts. [COLOR=blue]/[/COLOR] Fingers squeeze - upshifts. [COLOR=blue]RIGHT PADDLE [/COLOR]- Thumb press - downshifts. [COLOR=blue]/[/COLOR] Fingers squeeze - upshifts. So with this in mind :- [U](MOD 1)[/U] [COLOR=Red]LEFT PADDLE[/COLOR] - Thumb press - downshifts. [COLOR=red]/[/COLOR] Fingers squeeze - downshifts. [COLOR=red]RIGHT PADDLE[/COLOR] - Thumb press - upshifts. [COLOR=red]/ [/COLOR] Fingers squeeze - upshifts. or [U](MOD 2)[/U] Lose the Thumb press functionality. [COLOR=Red]LEFT PADDLE [/COLOR] - Thumb press - no function. [COLOR=red]/[/COLOR] Finger squeeze - downshifts. [COLOR=Red]RIGHT PADDLE [/COLOR]- Thumb press - no function. [COLOR=red]/ [/COLOR] Finger squeeze - upshifts. or [U](MOD 3)[/U] Simpler mod, since you only need to modify the left paddle wiring. [COLOR=Red]LEFT PADDLE [/COLOR] - Thumb press - upshifts. [COLOR=red]/[/COLOR] Fingers squeeze - downshifts. [COLOR=Red]RIGHT PADDLE [/COLOR]- Thumb press - downshifts. [COLOR=red]/ [/COLOR] Fingers squeeze - upshifts. I'm going to modify my paddles using "MOD 3" . This way I can still shift up or down one handed on one side of the wheel as per factory or shift paddle style using both sides for serious punting. Should be a very quick and easy mod since I only need to reverse two of the wires (+/-) on the left paddle and leave the common where it is ! [/QUOTE]
