Pulling both paddles toward the driver will put the gearbox in neutral. I have only done that while sitting still, stopped. Wondering if it is safe to do that while rolling? Not seeing any mention of that in the manual.

You can do that while rolling, you have to then hit one paddle to shift it back into gear.

On the GT3 with the PDK-S, you pull the paddle the car is in neutral for as long as you hold them, when you release the paddles the PDK will dump the clutch. If you do it mid corner it can be fun (for me) or scary (for the passenger).

Just looked up PDK-S -- didn't even know that was a thing. I love the turbo's power, but might have to try a GT3 one of these days.... As for the original question, I shift into neutral at speed -- coasting down hills, rev'ing the motor, etc. -- no problem.

Thanks guys. I failed to consult GTK on this.
