SC a bit jerky when downshifting to a stop
Hey all, I have the ESS 625 kit and noticed the car gives a bit of a jerk when downshifting into 2nd while slowing down (DCT). It doesn't necessarily feel like something is wrong, but it definitely isn't smooth like my upshifts and downshifts when speeding up. So far this is my only complaint with the kit other than one random stall which threw no error codes and was fine after a restart.
Has anyone else had the same experience and is it normal? Thanks in advance!

The car kind of revs itself very slightly for the first 10 seconds of cold idle when started, but I figured that was normal. Very short period of time and it consistently does it when very cold.

It happens to all cars that have had the latest DCT software update.

I feel it may be a combination of the tranny not being fully warmed up at times and the ECU not being fully adapted yet. Prior the the SC, I would have a jerky downshift every once in awhile, but I think I'm paying extremely close attention to the way the car is behaving now that I have the SC on the car. The kit has been performing great other than my concerns expressed earlier, so I will keep you all posted as I put PLENTY of more miles on it

I got the same thing! I have a vt-1 550 kit. Just installed a week ago. During the first 10 cold starts it was idling like a banshee. I believe this is normal. Also I do feel like the car is about to stall almost everytime i come to a stop. It almost hesitates. I have no doubt in the shop that installed since they've installed easily over 50 kits? (give or take). Now I've put another 100+ miles on it and it's working almost better every day.

Drive it in manual mode for a few hundred miles and let the ECU adapt and this will change
