7G manual mode --> auto extra upshift occasionally

Has anyone ever encountered the follow or know anything about driving in manual mode ( which i always do! ) when shifting from 2nd to 3rd... car shifts to 3rd.. but instantly also shifts up a extra gear .. into 4rd... from 3rd to 4rd ... and then automattically does another shift into 5th...

This happens around 2 of the 10 times.... also on WOT..... but also alot on just around 2500 3500 rpm..

Likely a bouncing shift paddle switch resulting in two shifts instead of just one. Has been reported before.

It won't feel any different. The bouncing is internal. Basically the switch will make contact, then lose contact and make contact again. It's what happens when the switch wears out.

Happens to mine too at times. I hate it especially when i'm exiting a roundabout and giving it in 2nd gear paddle up then i'm in 4th and I look like a newbie

Definitely has to do with the paddle pressure and switch I reckon... going to take mine apart and give it a good clean soon
