What kind of symptoms are you getting? You say jerky and not smooth (on gear changes?), but earlier you indicated you had oscillating RPMs when driving at constant speed?

Curious if driving in manual sport shift should make much difference. The computer is still in charge of executing gear changes, the manual shifts are only "requests" to the computer to make a change.

Hope you'll keep us informed of how things turn out!
Driving in manual sport shift mode provided a better driving experience since I was able to request the shifts as you mentioned. However, since the last post I have found that the computer has appeared to relearn the gears and now I no longer have an issue. Not sure whether driving it using the manual shift mode made any difference or just coincidence.

Cheers,
