Howdy all, I picked up my 2013 RS5 Cabrio in Oct with 4k miles on it.. it now has about 7500 miles and I tool it in for the 10k service (the car has the service package so just had them do everything.) I did ask them to check if the transmission TSB has been done on my car and it looked like it had not. I was having issues with rough shifting in "S" and manual modes and sometimes it seemed to just not find the right gear... hesitation, etc. Well I chatted with the tech who was working with my car and he clearly knew his stuff.. very glad my baby was in his hands. He performed the TSB and said he did a bunch of other adaption work to set the car up properly. Anyway.. picked the care up and WOW... night and day difference. I never realized how bad my transmission was before the update. It seriously felt like a 16yo shifting... rev matching was all wrong and the more aggressive the shift the more whiplash you experienced. Well now this shifts are butter smooth like the Stig it working the clutch. The car is faster (because shifting is happening faster.) Not sure what all they did but even the middle of the power band feels better. My point is...if you have a 2013 and you haven't had this TSB done to your car do yourself a favor and get it done ASAP. I can't believe the difference. My wife took the car and afterwards she comment on the difference (And she didn't even know they worked on the transmission.) Maybe mine was just set up all wrong to start with.. not sure, but the shifts were extremely abrupt (and not in a fun or fast way.) Loving the RS even more now

Concur, please advise. Thanks.

Also what 10k service interval? I thought all Audi service intervals were 5k, 15k, 25k, etc.

TSB number should be noted on receipt from dealer.

Curious here, too. Wondering if this is TSB 2032222/3 or something else. 2032222/3 is an ECM update that came out pretty much a year ago to address cold start misfires, but it also improved the throttle mapping during downshifts, in particular the 3->2 shift, which before was rather rough and the shifting became smoother overall.
