During my marathon trip around France my car went through a phase of slurring on up changes. It got to a point where I thought the clutch would give up the ghost altogether. (It's under warranty so would have been an inconvenience but not a great expenditure !)
I had however been driving it VERY aggressively in S5 (up the very tight, but fast and winding road leading up to Mount Ventoux)

The following day the problem seemed to have eased and two days after everything was back to normal (and hasn't been an issue since)

I'm shocked at just how adaptive" the car is to driving technique as mentioned earlier in this thread.

In my experince if you drive the car in S5 for any length of time without driving it hard it really seems to "adapt" badly and leads to really poor gearshift quality ?
Anyone else found this to be the case ?
