I am listening with interest as I will probably have the same problem soon. Is it fun to drive otherwise?
What is it like in Auto mode? Have you tried that?

Auto mode seemed ok, i used that at first but i'm trying to master the MC Shift , the noise is incredible in MC Shift Sport mode.

Its lots of fun to drive...

Auto mode is really slow to change gear. Just cr4p. Also, it eats clutches. Avoid. Only manual makes sense. And the sense it makes... Sublime!

The noise is amazing in MC Shift, i've completely given up on auto
My driving experience has changed since reading the tips given, everythings a lot smoother.

When I bought mine it was very smooth to drive but after about a year the changes got a bit nodding dog style so I booked it in and JCT600 just re calibrated the clutch etc. and it was as good as new again.

Good to hear - the more you drive it, the easy it is to master - just look out for these speed cameras

I just picked up my Granturismo S with MC Shift and i've been using it in manual mode with the paddles. The problem is i cant drive it that well!!

When i shift from 1-2 from stand still in Sport i get a bit of judder sometimes.

My wife is sh!t scared when i'm behind the wheel haha !! I can't drive and the car is an absolute beast in sport mode.

Any driving tips would be great.

Thanks

Buy the auto or actually scrub that, enjoy your car

Absolutely stunning. Love how mean it looks in all black. Is it an all leather interior? Or do you have alcantara.

same as everyone else really, wait for the lights to go out before starting, or i tend to use the press the accelerator pedal 4 times, also works. otherwise its a bucking bronco when cold.

I do get judder when pulling away from junctions etc.. but im expecting a new clutch in 5k or so!

The MC mode only works (i think) at 80 % of accelerator and when in the orange part of the central display .. but thats much better but try it in 2nd and you are in ticket territory...
