is it normal for the car to short shift in s mode?
I got on it last night a little trying my newish boost pulley and never really noticed this until last night.

My car in s2 with the TC off would spin for a second and then shift on its own to 3rd.

I did it back to back in this video and never really noticed before.

I had similar problems in 1st and was told it's due to lack of traction. Notice that your triangle is blinking before the shifts.

in the second atempt I try to lay a patch down and kept it floored in second gear and you can hear the car bog bog and then it shifts to 3rd gear on its own.

I cant wait for a tuner to be able to shut the darn TC completely off in these cars.

Totally normal.

Just run it in dyno mode.

Don't forget to wear a diaper.
