That's surprising since I've downshifted to 6600 RPM on my 335 by accident when the auto downshifted right before I pushed on the paddle and ended up with a 2 gear downshift.

As for the manual, I only wish the clutch would catch a lot lower that it did with the car I drove. I don't think you can install a clutch stop either since it won't start without the clutch depressed.
