1st week

So far so good. The DCT works exactly as it should-quick seamless up-shifts and downshifts. NO lag at all.
I did get the dealer to switch out the new OEM Conti SportContact 3's for a set of PS-2's. The Conti's were harsh and noisy.
Going to do the first detailing today so I will have some new pics for you all.

Mine came with the PS2s standard.

Funny timing of this post since someone else posted about their DCT stalling at the same time. What extremes.

First, congrats saildoc.

But it's really amazing how different the experiences have been. For me, like saildoc, the DCT has worked perfectly - lightning fast, silky smooth shifts, and no lag. It completed production around June 10th, I think, and I've had the car for 2 weeks now.

Maybe they've gotten the bugs worked out, and those that go into production now won't have issues.

It is sooo pleasing to hear that the lag seems to be erradicated... although I feel for those who are sufferring... looking forward to my baby! woohooo... November here I come!

Mine is a May 09 build. No lag. Been trying to replicate the infamous lag, but so far so good. It's a great trick transmission. Love it.
