When I have the wife in the car , or the roads are wet & slippy I drive the car a lot more relaxed but still change gear without lifting , but the throttle might be at anything between 10% - 100% pressed ... I have found after a while , when I next go for a full throttle redline change in say 3rd, it picks up a slight amount of slur ....... 10 minutes of thrashing & it reverts back to 'normal'


Assume this is the software 'learning' & adapting for driving style ? If it is, would love a method of overriding
sounds about right. I seldom drive my CSL nowadays and I generally have the battery disconnected. I found that I get ZERO slur from this. But if I keep the battery connected and was driving around town pussy footing, I do get a little slur due to I guess the gearbox learning.

I've recently not disconnected the battery as I find connect/reconnect when the weather is very dry, can cause some electrical spike, so its always connected nowadays. I just have to take her for a long cruise every other day.
