So as revs rise toward the shift point, around 500rpm before the upshift, the rev needle pauses momentarily (this is the hesitation I feel and equally can be bad enough at times to unsettle the cars balance) then rises again to its final rpm before the upshift occurs.
It doesn't feel like it hesitates during the shift. Its just before. Also when the upshift is complete the power can feel flat, indeed you can hear the exhaust go quiet. Power then slowly returns but this occurs on just light pedal application, if you're accelerating quickly the power drop off is never felt.
The latter has been improved by using better fuel, but neither of these issues used to occur before the repair works.
