Default RPM's not comming down??.. (kinda long)

It happened to me yesterday a couple of times, ater up-shifting 1 to 2, 2 to 3rd.. the rpms didn't went down, I though for a moment that I shifted too fast, but still, I was driving on a 30mph area.. so I tried several times until I got home, pressing the clutch, letting the car move like that and 2 or 3 seconds after, shift.. nothing.

The only way to low the rpms was putting tre tranny in neutral and release the clutch, tap the gas and then shift.. (double clutch theory)..

This morning I drove it all the way to downtown, only a couple of areas where I could go over 70, but mainly traffic.. no problems at all..

Anyone with this same behavior?

TIA

Default Yes, a few of us have had that happen, exactly as you described.

It's happened to me twice. I think that when it is happening, there is nothing that you can do except wait. The first time it happened to me, I tried everything you did and it eventualy stopped. The second time, I did nothing except continue to drive and it eventually stopped. It lasted maybe 20 seconds both times.

Default It has happened numerous times in my vehicle...the only good thing is that it keeps me on my toes...

Which is pretty sick...I find it happening on quick downshifts where I'm rev-matching...and I get into the lower gear and the revs don't come down right away when lifting.

I chalk it up to the car's personality and thankfully haven't had anything close to a mishap. I agree with the others that it's a DBW issue resulting from some bug in the software.
