I think what you're saying is that the programming for this transmission can't always match the way a stick-shift driver might drive. It apparently doesn't understand why you might want the match an enthusiastic shift schedule (gears used vs mph) up with the same sort of soft clutch/brake engagement that you would naturally do with a MT in normal street driving. Or that wanting manual control over the shifting doesn't have to mean that you're racing and need to minimize the shift time. Basically, it's still catering more to the drag racers among us and isn't quite there yet for the road course guys. At least in this respect.Now to answer your question. In s it is aggressive. you can be in tenth and hit the gas and it will shoot right to 5th and bang go... then for what ever reason it likes 5th and wants to stay there in s mode. If i put it in track mode and in select shift(s) it is harsh. both my buddies cars are too. Now in that mode if you drive it like you hate it , it loves it. If you try to drive it normal like on the street and in regular traffic its gonna shift hard and some times chunk. its not really meant for that mode on regular driving roads. you gotta drive that mode hard and it loves it. it will also aggressively down shift in that mode as well. short story if you are in track mode and in s and you are just driving on normal roads and in normal traffic the shifting is gonna be strange and at times harsh you may even get clunks as it not really made to drive that mode in normal situations.
