Default A8 questions

I have an 18 A8 GS and just did my first track day with this car. Ive never noticed any kind of issues with the the trans or the shutter issue ive read about on here. But, i noticed after doing the track day 2 weeks ago the shifts arent snapping like they used to they are kind of mushing into the next up gear. Not very noticeable but prior to the track day and during the event they would snap and gurgle and pop sound while upshifting with the throttle to the floor but now theyre not. To be clear in manual mode. Any thoughts?

What happens when you floor it ? Leave it in drive , Is it still snapping into the next gear with a pop ? . You could disconnect the battery for 15 minutes , this will clear the ADAPTS in the TCM

I seriously doubt that you hurt the Transmission
