Just wondering if anyone has experienced this issue with the 2.0T motor/8spd transmission - at 2/3 to 3/4 throttle revs go to, or near, red line (in the first 3 gears at least) and transmission shifts at that point are very snappy.

Under full throttle, however, shifting speed slows quite dramatically - seems to take a long time from when the rev matching cuts engine revs to when the power comes back on in the next higher gear. Also wondering if the TSB for rough shifting that was applied to my vehicle some time ago is implicated in this behaviour?

Do you have the trans selector in "D" or "S" when this happens?

Is there torque management programming to ease the shock on the transmission?

Full throttle behaviour at the rpm limit seems similar in both D and S - my recent tests have been in D.
