360 slight pause when in Auto mode

Finally bought a 360 F1 Spyder 2002 Ac did not work so dealer replaced the compressor to prepare the car for sale. The dealer also replaced the clutch, the fluids and usual service items. I have only driven the car three days. The car is dial in and runs great, I am lazy so I use the auto mode as a new user it does the work while I learn the car characteristics. Mostly looking for potholes to be honest my roads sux. It seems the car is pausing between gears as it goes up the cycle. IT is almost a stall then seems to catch up and move on. Only does this in auto mode not if I use the paddles no other problems noted. Is this a normal F1 characteristic? The dealer has the Service computers they do all the high end cars. I tried to note the temp seems normal temp 210 - 230ish F I forget. I left the car with the dealer they will have their Fcar guy Test drive. Like the car want a 430 but cash on hand only allowed a 360 for now good first Fcar for me. I liked the color so I bought it. Want the 430

Negative note first day out I stopped in a restaurant guy was smoking outside when I pulled in. sat where I could see the car but not him. after lunch found the prick thumped his butt on my car sat on the trunk crease burned the paint so I thought took it to a old timer paint shop the guy rubbed some cream on it burn paint gone. I am lucky the previous owner had the clear film installed so the butt burned the clear film can't even tell. what is wrong with this people? Lesson learned watch it like a hawk at stops and restaurants. Security camera yielded nothing and the guy paid with cash. No trail to find him.

Taz kinda thinkin the same it does lag - been lazy but more confident now to start cycling the gears myself. Didn't think about the Sport mode. Good one.

 

I know first day driving solo thought I was watching my car closely you have to watch the people around you car closely as well. Tried to ID him no joy a lesson learned for me no damaged due to clear Bra materiel. No Camera image of him or his vehicle he paid cash and departed the area quickly no damaged Old paint guy rubbed his magic cream and all is gone.

 

You guys have a really great background with these wonderful cars. I got to get smarter! 993man you are right I got to get busy. The TCU number is at the top of my list now. Thanks all

 

I got three older mercedes 190E 300SD S320 I went for something different with the 360 Spider is a very nice car I have to get used to it. Also got to keep a close eye on it parked outside at stops and restaurants. We have lots of open roads in Texas but so many cops. I did the same thing flying military aircraft when possible just press the altitude and heading hold buttons and drank some coffee. I guess I am lazy.

Been to the GD plant many times in FTW. Aussies still fly them. I am a Army guy Mostly CH47 UH1 and OH58. about to be retired after 35 years. Car is a Retirement gift for me. I love the ol F111 swept wing bomber very cool. I was actually a Test Pilot so I love learning about the systems on board the car.

 

my build was a 129247 in 2002 so I got to research the TCUs. So a quick flash may do the trick.
