Using paddles, 3rd gear thump on upshift.

Yes - mine seems to vary. At light throttle and high rpms, smooth shifts. At anything past half-throttle, it bangs into gear in the first three shifts.
I figure it's either a) the tranny responding to acceleration and shifting hard, or b) a problem. And if it's b, that's why we have a warranty...hasn't changed in about 5k miles tho.

I still prefer choosing tho

It only bangs if the car is under acceleration.
This is hard to explain, but I'll try anyway. lol
If you put your foot on the gas and allow the car's RPMs to come up and peak BEFORE shifting, there is no bump into 3rd... just a smooth as silk shift.
If you are accelerating and the car's RPMs are still climbing when you shift, it bumps into 3rd.
It doesn't happen in D mode because the car's computer feathers the gas off until the shift is complete and then re-applies the gas again...seamlessly.
Play with it, you'll see what I mean.
