Confirmed. Although, I think it may have something to do with coming to a stop and lifting off the brake while in 2nd, rather than keeping light brake pressure through the stop. I need to test this out, but I am pretty sure I don't always get the clunk - gotta force myself to stay in auto for a few drives and try it.

Another PDK trick, while downshifting you can hold the button down and it will downshift thru the gears as rapidly as possible. This seems quicker than doing individual down shifts.

Also, I just had a recall done on my software that makes the initial 1-2 shift less rough.

Yep - very quick.

And for upshift as well - good for getting into 7th after hitting cruising altitude off the entrance ramp onto the freeway.

did it do anything for the 2-1 shift Jim?

cgfen

our recent re-flash, late May, definitely improved the 2 - 1 shift when rolling to a stop.
prior to that, the shift was pretty ugly sometimes.

Let me put some more miles on it, but my initial impressions are that it is much smoother.

PDK also provides the kickdown function in both automatic and manual modes. If you depress the gas pedal fully, PDK will drops to the lowest possible gear, and will upshift at the highest RPM, even when you are in the manual mode.

Jim - I did a little experiment with holding the button in/out (works with the stick too). It does drop gears, but nowhere near as rapidly as manual inputs. I think I'd still manually shift it on the track... Still very cool - I never thought to try it!
