Both. You can leave it in auto mode and it shifts by itself, or you use the paddles to shift yourself. Not sure if there's a true manual mode where it won't ever shift, even at redline, unless you pull a paddle. All depends on the programming GM sets up.
Oh yes, and welcome to the forum!

And it will probably be programmed to prevent you from over revving the engine by downshifting to 1st gear at 80 mph.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Natural w/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels, Soler throttle controller, SmartTop HTC controller

The key to the quick shifts in a DCT, which he sort of talked around but didn't come right out and say, is that 2 gears are always engaged at the same time, with the clutches keeping one active and the other not. So when you're accelerating in first gear, second gear is already selected, and all that happens when you "shift" is that the first gear clutch disengages while the 2nd gear clutch engages. Nearly instant shift. The computer will then select 3rd gear (without engaging that clutch) so when the next shift comes all you're doing, again, is disengaging one clutch while re-engaging the other. Ditto on downshifts. So programming the computer is critical, because if it guesses wrong about what gear you want next the shift will be slowed while the transmission selects a different gear than the one it pre-selected.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Natural w/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels, Soler throttle controller, SmartTop HTC controller

For me, I can see there will be a bit of a learning curve with the DCT in general, and with GM's chosen programming in particular. Which may vary depending on the driving mode you're using. This will be fun.

That would be truly awesome, but I don't know if the tech is quite there yet.Delivered 5/29!: Scarlet Fever 2021 2LT HTC, Red Mist Metallic Tintcoat, two-tone Natural w/ suede inserts, Mag Ride, Performance Exhaust, MRR 755 Gunmetal wheels, Soler throttle controller, SmartTop HTC controller
