Hard Shift in Manual Mode
2014 Z51 with 29K is hard shifting in manual mode into on 2nd and 3rd, why? Transmission and or diffrential flush? It's not terrible, just feels like when you pop the clutch versus smooth let off.

What year is your car? And are you saying it hard shifts when just cruising or do you mean full throttle? At full throttle (if you have the A8 transmission) it will bang gears like you are a drag racer - that is normal.
