After a few days with Motul DCTF, I noticed my DSG is still behaving a bit weird like before were shifts from D to R would be abrupt or it'll engage slow. I guess I should do the DSG adaptation again? When I did it the first time, I followed the instructions in OBDeleven and then when it said it was done, I put it in D and my car wouldn't engage in gear. I gave it a bit of revs and the engine just hung at 1,500RPM. Ended up shutting off the engine and turning it on again. Did I do the adaptation wrong?
When I did mine I recall that it took a long time, even when the ECU said it was done I could still hear the DSG valves being randomly actuated, so I just waited until I did not hear any activity for a good 2-3 minutes, as I recall it was a good 10-15 minutes. I think when it says it is done, it means it is done with the re initialization, the actual calibration where it learns the initial settings takes much longer. Also part of the calibration is learning under actual driving conditions, so it stays in calibration mode until it has experienced a range of driving conditions and learned the best engagement values.
The re calibration is not instantaneous, for me it took a couple of weeks of driving before it completed all the calibrations. During that time it did exhibit some strange behavior which I attributed to the calibrations process, after that the shifting has been great. It sounds like you probably did interrupt the calibration process however, but it might complete that process during normal driving, you may just need to give it more time.
Did you follow the guide lines in the Ross tech instructions?

Prerequisites:
- Fluid Temperature 30...100 °C (86...210 °F), see Measuring Blocks, Group 019. (Fluid Level needs to be correct!)
- Selector Lever in P
- Ignition ON
- Engine ON (Idling) for one minute or more
- Brake Pedal operated (hold for the whole procedure)
- Throttle Pedal not operated
- Cruise control is switched OFF
NOTE: Be sure to perform the following steps in the sequence shown, followed by the defined test drive.
Defined Test Drive
Suggested test drive after replacing the mechatronic or successful basic setting.
Prerequisites:
- Fluid Temperature 30...100 °C (86...210 °F), see Measuring Blocks, Group 019.
- Do Not use Cruise Control.
Drive in Tiptronic Mode from stand still up to 6th Gear.
While doing that make sure to drive in Gears 3 or 5 for approx. 5 minutes and also in 4 or 6 for approx. 5 minutes.
The engine speed window for all gears is 1200 - 3500 RPM (for clutch calibration).
Perform one sharp braking followed by a full throttle acceleration (oil return check) while in Drive, Not Tiptronic Mode.
Evaluate creep and starting-off points.
Check for leaks.
NOTE: If the test drive cannot be performed in the recommended way or the necessary time, any remaining adaptations will be performed automatically during normal driving.
Special Notes
- Some modules do not require the use if the [ON/OFF/Next] button. If an Error is displayed after clicking the button, or the Basic Settings status does not switch to On, let the selected group and procedure finish on its own.
- It is normal for the transmission to make noise while the tolerances are adapting. Do not exit or abort the Basic Settings sequence prematurely if you hear clacking noises.
- Customers with TDI's have reported that an RPM range of 2000-2500 rpm is sufficient.
Well based on that special note, maybe you should try it again, especially if you did not follow the guidelines in this procedure.
