car is warmed up
shifting at 4k or more
delaying the 1-2 shift a couple of fractions of a second
I've learned this just isn't a Porsche. I will say that my E36 M3 shifted MUCH better. It's just the way it is. All said, the DCT doesn't float my boat because I'm still hooked on rev match downshifting and being able to rev my engine while stopped at a light. If I tracked, I'd probably go for a DCT, but on the street the MT is way more entertaining.

Couldn't have summed it up any better myself. The 1 -> 2 Grind is a reality on this car even in the absence of driver error. I have an appointment to have my transmission inspected later this month. I will report back if the dealer is willing to replace it or do anything about it.
