Latley I have noticed if im manual shifting from first to second there is a pause between gear change feels like the power cuts out for a second and it jolts to second and keeps going. Iv only noticed it since I changed fuel from 95 to 98 not sure if this is just a coincidence or not. In performance mode or drive it shifts fine only when manual shifting. Does anyone know what it could be?

Yeah everyone's does that

It's called torque reduction

But commonly known as the zf fart

Wind down your Window when you do it and you'll hear it clear as anything

Essentially the ecu cuts spark as it shifts to protect the gearbox but it still dumps fuel and air hence the fart

So its going from second into 1st

That's the gearbox lurch

A rebuild will get rid of it but that's costly

Just stay in second in manual mode

That's what I do

I never take off in 1st
