I'm surprised you say this. The only thing my car does right is shift smooth. Literally no complaints. In manual mode it does clunk sometimes though.

My transmission is so smooth that in stop and go traffic, it feels like it has a CVT, which I don't like sometimes. It makes accelerating a bit more than you already are, feel very awkward.

Omg. Am I complaining about a too smooth tranny?? Lmao, no.

Its smooth enough, but I do feel a little nudge when it does shift. Maybe I'm just too OCD.

I think I may be the only person who loves the neck snapping shifts, gives the car some drama.

Well then I should have sold you my Acura TLX instead of trading it in when I bought my GS!

In my 2015 F-Sport, 99.9% of the shifts are as smooth as butter. Occasionally I'll feel one, but that's to be expected I think. I'm also probably still overly sensitive from feeling nearly every low gear shift in that TLX.

Well I dropped it off at the dealers today to get it checked out. I'm sure they gonna come back and tell me that's the way its supposed to be. Just weird I feel a double shift from drive to reverse and from reverse to drive. Been testing it all the way to the dealer at almost every stop light.
