I did the CDV mod a while ago too. Its much better!
Ya I thought so also. Its weird tho because on my s4 this never happened. But then again I never really aggressively launched it as hard as I do my 335.

Ive felt it when im going on an uphill launch. Like when you "balance" the clutch @ 2k+rpms or more while on a uphill slant. You give it just enough clutch so your not moving back or forward. It seems like this is when i see the problem happen.

As long as its normal its all good.

Ya the CDV delete makes the shifts a lot more smoother, no more hesitation when changing gears. I hated that feeling.
