I agree!!

 

Yamaha almost got this thing right.

 

I wonder how long it'll be before they pull their head's out of their ass?

 

They have the sequential gearbox there already, why the fuck didn't they put paddle shifters on the steering wheel is beyond me.

 

Who the fuck wants to take their hand off the steering wheel to shift when driving off-road WFO in an aftermarlket turbocharged SxS?

I can see future mods being made to make it paddle shifts at the wheel... but i can see that shifter being a cause of a lot of accidents

Paddle shifters are fucking worthless. My Jeep has them. They're impossible to use unless you're going straight.

 

A regular shifter would be better than paddles.

Of course, that's why formula one have paddle shifters...

You're talking about professional drivers though. And how far do they actually have to turn the wheel to turn the car? It can't be much.

 

Take the average idiot and stick them with paddle shifters. They're useless.

Those cars are 1/4 turn lock to lock on the wheel. The karts are a bit farther, but we fight chassis bind with too much input so it's nearly the same. Even on the tight tracks the wheel nevers turn 90 degrees at speed.

That's what I thought. That's the reason the paddle shifters are useful in them.

 

I don't see a SxS only being only 1/4 turn either way, essentially rendering the paddle shifters useless.

 

Even in my Jeep I can barely use them and I'm not jumping it, riding in rough terrain or trying to race someone. The wheel just turns too far for them to work.

 

I wish Jeep had stuck with the slap shifter like my 2007.

I'm a licensed private pilot. (Hard to believe I know) but I can tell without doubt as soon as that plane goes inverted and the motions react the opposite direction from your natural reaction I'm fucked! The paddle shift with a long sweep wheel is no different. The brain cannot swap the finger control faster than hand/eye coordination can rotate the wheel. Meaning if your 180 rotated on the wheel rounding a corner and wanting to downshift your thumb is going to whack the bottom paddle. The bottom paddle at 180 out on the wheel is up!

This. If I spin the wheel to whip the thing around its just a guess at that point. And if the shifter is at the 12 and 6 position I'd get lost so fast and stall the thing.
