PDK shifting smoothness at full power
How smooth do you find the PDK shifting under full throttle at high RPMs?
For me, at mid throttle and RPMs the shifts are perfectly smooth. But at higher speeds and throttle there is a noticeable jolt as the transmission shifts. Normal or not?

It's when in sport mode, but i think it's the car trying to 2nd guess what you're about to do with your right foot, despite this, i think the system is very intuitive, and sport alone is very very good for a hard drive. Sport Plus is really for when you want to go crazy

Yes the jolt is normal on upshifts. It is even a more intense jolt with Sport Plus mode on.
PDK is not smooth like a old style automatic. PDK is sportier in shifting especially in Sport or Sport Plus mode.
