2015 Mustang GT paddle shifters?

I own a 2015 Mustang GT automatic since its sports + mode actually shifts better than a manual driver would, but I realized that when on Drive and I activate the paddle shifters they don't stay on manual mode very long like 5 seconds only, what could be the cause? Is paddle shifting only possible on Sports mode or sports + and track mode? Its an insanely fast car on the Sports + and sports, is that why its duration is not long enough?

Thank you "automatic since its sports + mode actually shifts better than a manual driver "

More consistently? Yes. Better/faster? Debatable. With a conventional automatic, you get noticeably more driveline loss because the automatic transmission works off the principle of slippage (that's why it has 15 quarts of transmission fluid), whereas a manual or an automated manual (usually dual clutch types these days) have a direct mechanical connection and are therefore more efficient at transmitting power. But anyway…

It doesn't sound like you bothered to read your owner's manual because it addresses exactly what you are describing.

"SelectShift Automatic™ Transmission

Your SelectShift Automatic transmission gives you the ability to change gears manually.

"With your vehicle in drive (D), the paddle shifters provide temporary manual control. They allow you the ability to shift gears quickly, without taking your hands off the steering wheel. The system determines when temporary manual control is no longer in use and returns to automatic control.

You can achieve extensive manual control by moving the gearshift lever to the sport (S) position."

There's nothing wrong with your car. Hi so designed like that so want it changed go back to dealer and request it. Just a re-program of the software.
