missing 2nd gear at high rpm / WOT

CDepp

When I see people post 'shift slower' I hear, "you have a sports car, but don't accelerate as hard as if it were a true sports car". I've taken out a 2009 and 2010 from a dealership after mine started acting up and the another dealership said 'it's normal'. I couldn't replicate the issue on the others, and I drove them harder than I do my own. I took the Service Mgr out for a drive in mine, chewed up some gears from 1st to 2nd under hard acceleration, "shift slower", he said. I pulled over and stared at him for at least 15 solid seconds, then pulled back out. I wanted to ask him if he was drunk, but held my tongue. I shifted slower, from 6500 RPM in 2nd (approx. 45mph or so) to 6th with a full 1 second delay. Same horrible grinding. "Oooooh. That's not right", he said.

"Not normal? You sure?" - I asked in a very demeaning tone.

(I'm an @$$ most of the time)
