Question C7 A8 rpm drop 100-200 in 3rd gear when in Manual mode.

Hello,
Quick question any suggestion is much appreciated.

I have a 2018 GS with an A8 transmission. The trans shifts fine in automatic but if I shift it in manual mode, the shift from 3 to 4 leads to a feeling that there is a second shift after 3rd gear is engaged.

Basically after 3rd gear has been engaged manually there is a jerk in the drive train and rpm drops about 100-200 and work’s normally after that.

Welcome to the forum. I have an M7 so not much help but there's lots of threads here about the A8. Click the little magnifying glass up top and it will open a search window. Type in A8 transmission, see what that brings up and surf through the threads. Here's a start for you.
