Right, thanks, that's what I've been doing most of the time, almost subconsciously. And being more judicious in stop-and-go traffic to avoid as much as possible situations that will require extended slipping rather than full engagement immediately.

Kind of maddeningly, this morning it showed no symptoms at all, behaving perfectly without any special treatment. Not sure how that happens -- either it's broken or it's not, right?
