surging during acceleration

Yep, kinda of a pain. When it starts happening, I just push in the clutch. Give it more gas and release the clutch again. Oh, yeah, guess you guys with DCT are screwed.

au contraire mon frere, just mash the gas and the surging will pass.

No you did not . If you read the request for advise when I initiated the post , you would understand that the acceleration is not linear when that happens and therefore the engine cuts off intermitently . Thus you could not beat a Prius at take off from a stop light .

Wow, from some threads lately, seems a few people are taking this internet thing a bit too seriously

Anyway, kinda happy to see this thread, as I too have noticed a bit of this surging, pretty much only right on startup, and it probably has been worse since I used my M Key settings to enable Power on startup. Just switched it back to normal, so will see how that goes.
