How smooth is ur 8AT in the k4 GT Line Turbo?

How smooth is ur 8AT in the k4 GT Line Turbo?

Recently i reached 1000km on my k4 gt line turbo and i have always noticed the gearbox to sometimes have very very slight rubber band effect/pull back effect whenever the car changes it gears while driving (example 1st to 2nd or 3rd to 4th gear). At times it will feel smooth but sometimes there’s a small pull back effect.

Furthermore at 1350km i pushed the car harshly reaching 5k rpm or 6k I forgot reaching speeds of 160? 170 i forgot too lol. After that i learnt that the break in period of a engine is 1600km? But manual says 1000km

So my question is.. is my mild rubber band effect normal whenever car shifts? Is my engine and gearbox okay from what i did considering it’s a new car and the mileage was still 1350km that time.

Note : First oil change was done at 1009km

Scratch on rotors

Kia Cerato GL 2022 1.6L
6AT

Soo i sent my car as car vibrates whenever I braked. Pads were thin and rotors weren’t smooth anymore.

After collecting my car, rotors were smooth but after driving 180km… the rotors have a scratch on it.. i just skimmed these rotors 180km ago and installed new original kia pads on it. Totally forgot to bed it as once i picked it up from Kia.. it felt responsive and had a sharp bite… and i just noticed there’s a scratch now on my front left rotor. Did several harsh stops too already 😭… what can i do now?

Car feels normal rn when braking.
