Not sure how to describe this...
When I'm shifting between gears I notice there's not much power until rpm hits around 2K and then it takes off, almost lurching, like it's hitting a powerband or something. Especially noticeable between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. There appears to be a steep drop in rpm between shifts. I can correct it by running the rpms higher and shifting quickly, but then I'm trying to drive it like a sports car which I don't want to do. I've learned to live with it but I thought I'd float this out there to see if this is normal for the 2018 JL manual.
