I have a jerk when slowing down in manual mode on my 03 :/ Dealer could not diagnose the problem. If I downshift myself while braking, the car doesn't jerk, but if I leave it in manual and let the car downshift by itself when I brake, it jerks going from 3-2 and then from 2-1.
It NEVER jerks in auto mode, tho
We'll see how the tranny behaves after the TT. Hopefully by replacing all the fluid, etc, it helped. If not, time for a SFR built tranny

got off a ramp and ended up hitting the rev limiter after shifting into N, lol. for a good 5 secs I had no F'ing clue what happened. Then just pushed it back to D

manumatic (i call tiptronic which is a benz or bmw term?) is only for kicks and giggles. Surprisingly a lot of people believe it makes the car quicker, i doubt it. Our tranny shifts right before the redline and you do not deal with the delay from shifting it yourself. The jerking on braking while downshifting happened like once to me when i put it 3->1. I think its caused by the engine attempting to rev match but the rpm is too low anyways. Its fun if you are bored and trying to wake up a neighborhood though. I find manumatic only useful if your racing from a roll vs a car without it. You can pretty much select your rpm at the start and always get the jump.
