Are you still getting the checkered flag? I wonder myself too, my LC appears to work at the "initial launch" stage, but then it seems to just grab the clutch 100% about a second into the LC sequence and I just spin the tires.

Is the effect the same if you lower the RPM?

no change in how it performs regardless of RPM. Before, I could do the default 5,500rpm and it would grab and go. Now, regardless of if I use the OEM software, or GTS-DCT (3,500rpm default LC), it does a half-assed LC where it "gives up" like a second or two in the LC sequence, then it just grabs the clutch 100% and I do nothing but spin and spin.

I have over 60K miles on my car now though, I wonder if it has to do with a built-in safety thing with the clutches?
