2 The "speed of a shift" is kind of a semantic, nebulous thing when it comes to a DCT. I'll just say this... it shifts smoother at lower numbers, it shifts more aggressively at higher settings. While shifting at lower rpm and lower throttle position, ie, barely accelerating, the lower settings will cause it take longer to shift, higher settings will cause it to shift quicker. While shifting at higher rpm and higher throttle position, it shifts equally quick, but with more of a power shift surge at the higher settings. Rather than try to decifer others descriptions, go feel it for yourself.

Ok I finally get it. I drove up in the hills today and got to throttle it hard. I definitely noticed the hard shifts.
So for Drive mode not only does it shift sooner but does it also change the hardness of clutch engagement?
