    hi, does anyone notice when you are in manual mode and you are driving hard, every time you shift up there is a jerk? Is this normal when you are in m/t? i noticed if I am in a/t and the computer does the shifting the tranny is smoother/ no jerk feel.

    that jerk you fell is programmed intentionally.
    it occurs on hard acceleration in race mode.
    if you ease your foot off the gas just a tad while shifting, the shifts are silky smooth.
    the posrche pdk2 does not exhibit this behavior on hard acceleration.
    i suspect ferrari designed their dual clutch to behave more like a manual tranny.

    In Auto Mode - If the jerk is over the top or starts increasing most likely your transmission will fail.
    I have experienced this and that's how I know.

    My new California 30 behaves just like your 458; only does it when I accelerate hard in manual mode.

    2012 coupes and up do it more than older coupes and all spiders. I like it.
