That explains it ... I didn't understand what everyone was talking about. Mine revs so smoothly and fast without the dreaded roughness some mention.
I'm really begining to like this A7 transmission on a daily basis.
I really didn't think I was going to like the auto this much over my manual transmission cars. It's really nice not to have to shift in traffic and I really didn't think that it would be able to shift up and down so fast. My concern was downshifts. The computer with downshift rev control takes care of all of that. It is just a split second slower than I can shift with a manual but, I just make up for it by shifting a little earlier. It's exciting !!!!
The downside is that you can't downshift bring the revs up between shifts and dump the clutch doing smokey powerslides. However, that will save me on tranny/clutch costs in the future. For me this is a daily driver... I'm fortune to have other cars that I can do that in. ;-)
