DSG manual shifting 1>2 with a bang

[DuaneDibbley]

So you are shifting at 5000rpm . Why would you do that

Because it's fun?

If 5000RPM is under redline RPM and he's not doing it every single launch from every stop ever then why should he expect it to not perform correctly?

I have far to much respect for a vehicle that I paid a lot of money for to try taking off at revs like that Was taught early on in my driving career that if you have to pay to fix it yourself look after it.

He's not dropping the clutch at 5000RPM at a standstill for Pete's sake, Hillbilly...

I find in my DSG Octavia that shifts are smoothest when throttle input is constant. So don't hit 5000RPM and then jump off the accelerator and flick the up gear leaver. Let it change on constant throttle and then back off the throttle. That way you're not loading/unloading the driveline at the same time it's trying to work out what to do with the clutches.
