I'm shifting at high RPM because I'm driving fast and enjoying the fact that I have a Porsche. I don't push it all the time, but when opportunities present themselves, like on ramps, I like to really drive it.

Crooster, thanks for the helpful input. I have absolutely no problems shifting below 4000 RPM, the shifter is silky smooth and I'd never even know something was amiss if I was just driving it like a hyundai. I'll take it in and have those items looked at as you recommend, but does the fact that it's perfect all other times except when shifting from 2nd to 3rd at high RPM change any possibilities in your mind?
