Question really hard gear change from 2nd to 3rd (automatic transmission)

i have had the car for roughly 2 weeks now (600 miles) and everytime i shift from 2nd to 3rd (tiptronic mode) at any RPM over 4K, the tranny changes the gears very hard. you can easily feel it everytime, and everyone who has sat in my car has noticed without me saying anything about it. so the question i have is will this go away after the break in period or am i going to have to go to the dealership to have warranty repair??

see if you can get it to shift that same way in SD or D mode. If so, then most likely its a problem. Are you letting off the gas when you shift? B/C you arent supposed to.

Completely normal.

Nothing to worry about. If you do let off the gas it won't shift as hard.

All the rev matching problems are gone after about 800-1200 miles on my ride.
Shifts are as smooth as silk. Step on it and the shifts are responsive.
