Hi friends, I have noticed this weird thing happening with my car. I don't know if it is something that is expected with a stock clutch or if I am doing something wrong (or perhaps there is a defect).
I have a 2016 Golf R w/DCC, Manual Transmission, all stock. When I launch the car from 0 and want to take off fast, I usually push it to about 5K RPM and then up-shift, and so on. Now this is when weird things happen.
When I am at a high RPM range like on 3rd gear (lets say ~5500) and I super-quickly shift up and press back on the gas (all very fast), somehow the transmission does not adjust the RPMs down (to lets say ~4000) and keeps the RPM where it was on the previous gear. And if I keep pressing gas it will go beyond where I don't want it to go (6000+). I almost have to let go of the gas for a second (after shifting) for it to adjust back down and to bite the gear that I am on. Is this what "clutch slipping" is? And is it normal to happen when I am driving like a maniac? I kind of expected the car to be able to handle the power with all stock equipment.
Anyone else ever experience this? Any suggestions? If it is a defect, is it covered by the warranty?
