Not sure if this is normal but I've noticed when downshifting in manual mode that there is a pause/hesitation when going from 3rd to 2nd.
Example: I'll be in 3rd and still on the gas, and if I press the minus paddle or use the gearstick the car loses all power for about half a second and then it dumps all the power back to the wheels and the car jerks forward.
The DIS displays shows '2' as soon as I press the paddle, it's just the drive that takes over half a second to arrive.
This doesn't happen when downshifting from 6th to 5th, 5th to 4th, or 4th to 3rd. These are all instant.
The half a second loss of power is only apparent when going from 3rd to 2nd.
However, this pause doesn't happen a 'D' at all.
Also, doesn't happen when going up through any of the gear though, including 2nd to 3rd.
Is this normal? Anybody else have this pause??
