| Description of the problem | Dsg transmission in a 2007 audi a3 2. 0t 62,000 miles making significant "clanks" at miscellaneous times (while driving, while stopped, while stopping, while accelerating) as well as not staying in gear, popping out of gear randomly, hesitating to engage once in gear and when engagement does occur (under throttle or not) i get a clank and a violent jerk of the entire vehicle. Other times the car will rev itself up to 2000+rpm's and then engage gears after sitting at a stop and attempting to idle down driveway. It's scary sometimes and i really have to keep an eye and ear on it. |
