S/C whine during Touchtronic
for those of you with auto coupes, have you noticed that there's no whine from the s/c when manually shifting? mine doesn't whine unless it's just in drive? anybody else have this problem?

i know that, but it just sounds like the bypass valve is open when manually shifting and i dont hear the whine. i can hear really nice hollow-soundign whine between 2000-3000rpm when in drive. i was just curious if there was something in the coupe's programming that left the bypass valve at least partially open when manually shifting.

I get whine with the autostick mode. I do not drive it much in that mode, except to control the speeds though neighborhoods at 20-25mph. I like cruisin in second, as the car sounds pretty good and is peppy in that speed-rpm range.
I find the shift delay way too long for my likes at normal driving speeds.
