that the DIC shows a gear change before the gear actually changes?

If this is true, perhaps the gear actually did change but the clutch engagement (perceived by the driver) necessarily occurs only slightly after gear engagement; said clutch must coordinate its engagement timing with the disengaging alternate clutch in such a fashion as to provide a nearly seamless change in acceleration between gears.

To fix this, I suppose the DCT control firmware could have been written to display the gear change only after the new gear has been fully clutched in.
