I too have the same problem. I can thumbshift down, but not up. I know it worked when I bought a year ago, but it doesn't now. I wish I knew what how to fix it as well.

The shifter works both ways. It downshifts and upshifts via column shifter. Where you are confused is that it will not go above the selected gear. If you just hit the button and not select a low gear it can be shifted manually.Clancy said:The shifter in the titan does not shift UP. It limits the truck to the gear selected. RTFM.

You have a valid, but mute point. Who would want their truck in 4th gear at 10mph? There has to be a time when logic takes effect.Clancy said:You cannot get the truck to go into 4th gear at 10 mph. Cannot. Won't happen. It does not shift up unless you have the speed to shift up.
Once again I disagree. I can drive my truck basically the same as a manual as far as shifting up and down. The only difference is the truck wont hold a gear selected, it can and will downshift if it is commanded to and the gear is available. But as far as going out and having fun and shifting throught the gears manually it just as good maybe not better because you dont have to engage a clutch system.Clancy said:The thumb shift sets the maximum gear you'll allow - that is all it does. If you put it in 3rd gear from the start, you are telling the computer not to exceed 3rd gear. Roll to a stop. Are you in third (no) - it'll shift down to 1st and up to 2nd and then to third as you accelerate all on its own. But it will stay in 3rd. That's all it does.
Now.... It can be used to manually upshift (someone has a great video demostrating that here - i'll find it) if your point is to hold revs higher than the auto would shift it. But in that case the truck wants to upshift - that's why it does.
And Troy - I didn't read from your first message that yours wasn't shifting up (when required) - sorry.
It's not mute - it proves my point. The shifter does not shift up.roy365 said:You have a valid, but mute point. Who would want their truck in 4th gear at 10mph? There has to be a time when logic takes effect.
Mine does. And i love it. :banasex0rClancy said:It's not mute - it proves my point. The shifter does not shift up.
Then I guess you have a special truck.roy365 said:Once again I disagree. I can drive my truck basically the same as a manual as far as shifting up and down.

You can't see his hand moving the shift lever, but watch the gear display in the speedo - that's the story... (if it was in D, it would stay in D)roy365 said:That video shows absolutely nothing other than a speedometer. :lol:
Yeah it's pretty special to me. :doublekisClancy said:Then I guess you have a special truck.
I'm pretty sure my wife's G35 works like my truck. I find it more fun to pull it over into sport mode and let the computer do the shifting. (The computer is way more brutal than I am.) In all honestly - I'd much rather have a clutch - but when we bought her car you couldn't get the 'x' with a stick...
