I'm pretty confident that this will resolve the problem seeing that you also have the dieseling sound, which comes from lugging the engine. These two issues kinda go hand in hand. Give it more throttle, the clutch is much more aggressive that your previous cars, and it just wants to go.

This is exactly what it sounds like!!!
Though I hear it down shifting also...
So i.e. not enough RPM to facilitate changing gears?
Thank you all very much for your help. I might do the fuse pull as well to make sure all is how it should be.
