From what I recall (cant drive it now-snowed/salted outside), if you get back into only 'regular' manual mode- you would also see in the DIC that it no longer shows a specific gear anymore as when in true manual tap mode. It reverts back to automatic shifting and doesnt show which gear your in (wish it did-that bites).
Thats why after I put it in Manual shift posisiton I tap down so it shows 1st gear in the DIC- to ensure it shifts into second when I command it via tap up- vs the computer deciding to do so potentially earlier.
Also keep in mind that after you actually tap up the first sequence into at least third gear when driving, the tranny will automatically downshifts to 2nd gear when going too slow- even if you didnt call for it. this can cause confusion as to which gear your in and leave at from the stop. The DIC will show the 2nd gear-and you are still in true manual tap mode.
Then you take off in what you think is 1st (but actually 2nd), wind out the gear to 6k and tap up (going into 3rd not 2nd), then back off quite a bit- it will revert down to 2nd automatically based upon the tune mph downshift. Normally this wouldnt occur though till going pretty slow on mine-not sure parameters of the 2014.
In other words- watch the display like a hawk during your tests.

Well, you were 100% accurate!!!
All along thinking the issue was the paddle shift mode parameters, issue was driver error. LOL. I was indeed holding the right paddle too long rather than a quick click in "manual mode."
Just now did 10-12 passes in paddle mode, made certain the "DIC" remained in "M" mode for manual paddle shift mode. 100% perfect the entire time. WOT upshift 1-2, 2-3 rpms increase to approx. 6,000 then a quick/firm upshift. I had the tuner disable the TCM torque management too.
Thanks again
