I am a little worried that I might be experiencing a gearbox issue. Around 2500miles in and there is a discernible "leap forward" when the gearbox changes up or down, most noticeable 1-2-3:3-2-1. Also when COD changes to from 4/8/4 you can feel it through the seat that it has done so. If I put the box into sport then the up change 2-3 is pretty harsh. If I thrash it then all seems fine

, however when cruising around town, the gear changes are far from smooth in D or in S. Maybe it has always been like this, but the car now seems to be difficult to drive smoothly in a 30 or 40 zone. Throttle seems to be more on/off than progressive. Light pressure nothing much happens, a slight bit more pressure and then it takes off.
So my question is, those out there with a RS6 C7, is this something you have noticed? I am enjoying everything about the car, it is the best thing I have ever purchased, however the harsh/leaping gear changes are taking the shine of things a bit.
(Should have said that it is most noticeable when the car is cold, however still there when up to temperature)
