double clutch as well. If I'm not mistake AP1 first gear is longer than AP2 so me down shifting at higher MPH is about the same. (If I'm correct)

AP2 can accelerate smoothly from as low as 7mph without bogging in 2ne........just don't floor it....i shift 2->1 if < 7mph, unless it's downhill then I can keep it in 2nd
