A8 Trans Outstanding

With the AFM , paddle shifting manual mode, speed and adaptive driving with mode changes . Definitely the most outstanding and best decision I made when ordering. YOU Won't Be Disappointed

I wasn't sold on it. In drive it's very good. But in manual mode the shift delay kinda ruins the experience to me. If I do go with the A8, I will definitely be tuning AFM off. I don't like the sound with it active, and I still don't think having some similar engine parts getting more or less use then other similar engine parts is optimum for engine longevity.

I love my A8! Paddles are very responsive, as well as manual mode using the shifter. Love how it holds the gears!

The paddles have a near one second delay, I don't consider that responsive. Was like that on both I drove, the Corvette is the same way. But, it's not a DCT, so I guess that should be expected, and I read about the delay in reviews. But as I said, when left in drive (as autos should), it was really good.

My paddle shift on my 15ss A6 is very quick. Gm may eventually have a fix for that. Hopefully

Actually all models do according to the Chevy website. I was not aware of that. The SS also has torque vectoring in competitive mode.

To his explanation... He says that it basically helps the car run faster..?
Honestly he knows pretty well about cars but this is the first time I feel like he has no idea what he's saying and doesn't wanna accept it... Lol

A simple trans tune will fix that
