Rudy's right again. You gotta have it in neutral with your foot on the brake, though.

Yep, that 1% can now be added to the 99%.

JDN is correct that the car needs to be in N and your foot needs to be on the brake.

You need to move the gear selector to N (from D or R) while the key is in the on position or the SMG won't shift. Could you be doing something like that?
