Also don't need alot of space to mash out just floor the accelerator until 2nd engages full from crawling and then let go.
I dunno worked for me when K2 started acting up after around 15K miles.

I feel this should be told to every new DCT car buyer in T&T. I had to learn all this myself + from Bunny's thread in the first few months of ownership.
BA sort of told everyone to just drive the car as normal.

Yep.. In the earlies Bunny, syncrod and some of the others posted a lot of info on how to use it properly, esp in manual. It's something I've really gotten used to, although I still prefer how slushbox autos don't have that lag to engage first gear once your foot's off the brake.
As of today, looks like I've joined the failed mechatronics club. Almost home today and I find the car revving excessively. Looked at the dash and saw the spanner of death flashing every time it was supposed to be on an odd gear. Basically the car would take off on D2, get the rpm high enough and then switch to D4. Managed to get it into the yard. It won't reverse and won't engage any of the odd numbered gears. It will still take off on D2, but putting it in R makes nothing engage at all.
Gonna get it over to BA tomorrow and hope for the blessing of good will.

Sounds very fishy!

Bright side in this pile of sheit is that you get a whole new tranny and they should give you some warranty as well on it.

Something to the tune of when the mech was replaced the gears still weren't responding/shifting.
That's the brightside.. but the more apparent downside is time lost/new expenses incurred and no actual vehicle to use.... mind you on a vehicle that's still being paid for.

Any update on your situation?
