Yeah it is sort of garbage. I was excited to have it when I first got my car but I've figured out it's not as much fun as I thought it might be. It is useful to have, and I admit I put it in manual mode just for fun a lot of times. I find 1st and especially 2nd gears to be absolutely explosive from 5-6k rpm and Sport mode doesn't really let the engine rev that far. But if you're not revving the bajeepers out of the engine (I don't make a habit out of that by the way) and you're shifting by yourself driving normally the shifts are slow and come with a big jolt most of the time. And then when it downshifts 2 to 1 by itself when you come to a stop you get another big jolt/clunk. I have fresh ATF but apparently there's a software update out there that might help this? I'm not going to pay my dealer $75+ just to plug in to my car for 5 minutes though. Plus with the manual 5-spd you get 20 second bursts of OVERBOOST. Sounds like fun...
