My local newspaper (Geelong Advertiser) of last Saturday (17/5/2003) ran an article saying that all new MCs with CVT would be fitted with steering wheel mounted paddles. Is this correct and if so, how do they work in conjunction with the floor mounted gear lever?

Thanks,
minifrog.

Apparently so! The guys here say there will be buttons on the wheel to change gears...I haven't seen any bulletins cross my desk though, so no pictures or anything
