Hi vbp.net,

To me, "avec du gauchissement" in the context means he is acting so hard on the SS that he is bending it. Of course, he is not. But it is to indicate that he could not do more.
A new interpretation is always welcome to the CVR mess!
But, maybe we should all listen to Mr. hulotte who is a former Airbus Industrie SFI which have trained tons of pilots during a full decade:

Here, again, the sentence is incomplete and not very meaningful. Its sense may only be infered from the two bits as there is hopefully only two axis on the sidestick [edit: but there is also the rudder!]:
- "I'm at the limit of ...[the stick] (1) ... adding some roll".(2)
(a1) may only refer to pitch axis (full aft / full forward)
(a2) + roll ... (left or right)

OR [edit: but there is another one! -- Thank you mm43 for the details above]

- "I'm at the limit of... [the rudder](1) ... adding some roll".(2)
(b1) could also refer to rudder (full left / full right)
(b2) + roll ... (left or right)
