Welcome to the forum just found this after a quick search of the inernet

The smg adapts to how you drive and shift. So you have to reset it when you get it.to do so drive up to 40mph and shift into N then pull both if the paddle shifters back and let the gas go. So the car is crusing for around 15 sec then shift back to drive and carry on.
You won't feel anything however but the car should feels better when shifting

Not tried it myself but worth a try
Z less again

Best tip I can give is get the roof motor relocated to the boot its not a matter of if it will fail its a matter of when,a few guys on here can do this service at extremely reasonable rates,just depends where you are based. :wink: :wink:
