No, I normally change before I redline it, but I'm sure it changes from 2nd to 3rd automatically when you hit the rev-limit I'll give in a go, to check, on the way home tonight
If I ease off the throttle completely the gear changes are very jerky, holding a little throttle on smooths it all out, but full throttle changes are just as fluid.Try in sport mode, changes much more aggresively on full chat. Now I'm used to F1 would'nt got back to a manual shift again unless I had no choice (cheap car etc). How about a run to London on Sunday to "practice"
