That wouldn't make any sense unless your brake pedal switch wasn't adjusted properly (assuming there is an adjustment mechanism).

it has happened to me before here is what i do not to make this situation repeat. When i shift into reverse or D for that matter. I press down firmly on my brake pedal and then shift.. I do not let the brake pedal go until the sst dual clutch engaged the gear.. this tranny is little different then regular automatic. So make sure when you engage the gear wait 2-3 seconds before releasing the brake pedal
