I never drive my '12 sport AT in manual mode but is still very herky-jerky especially when I brake and it downshifts from 2 to 1. Do others with the 7AT feel this "jerk" or is my transmission defective? At the dealership I almost bought the manual but decided for the auto only because I have driven manual my whole life and had read that the auto was faster. However, I'm kind of regretting it now after a year because it makes me "cringe" everytime I feel this hard downshift. I recall one time as I was driving home from work when the downshift from 2nd to 1st was so violent I thought the car behind me had lightly tapped my bumper lol. Although I don't drive my Z too much (7000 miles in one year) I doubt my tranny is going to last more than 5 years.
