smg settings
I've been driving with the SMG set to 5 , which I find perfect for my kind of driving on my local Yorkshire lanes .... but I wanted to check, are there any downsides mechanically to driving in setting 5 all the time? Increased where to the drive train etc ?
On a similar note, what's the downside of driving distances in say setting 3 ? ( this appears to be the more wife friendly setting ) . Possiblity of clutch slur ? 2 weeks or so with my CSL & I'm loving it. Can't believe I didn't get one sooner ..... |

Full throttle shifts in s5 .... As you all know does feel like the rear diff s getting some abuse. Is the csl designed to be driven like this or can it lead in the long term to premature wear in the diff ? Just trying to work out the best driving style for the car

Diff will be fine, it is the rear floor that will rip

My car has had the floor done , so hopefully I can rule that off the list of things to fret over
