1)hold the left paddle and floor it for optimum gear choice
2)in auto mode, floor the gas at cruising speed and let the trans choose the gear.

that massive clutch slips is what I believe is the culprit to my methronics failure (I have another theory but don't have evidence for for).

if you've done 1) or 2) often with the 650 you've burned your clutches or have overheated the metronics system and damaged it. it will not get better with re-adapting the clutches. ask me how i konw.
Whats the other theory?
