| Description of the problem | 2007 audi a3 dsg issues. My transmission has very hard shifting on occasion. This happens randomly. Also at times the transmission will get stuck in between shifts. When this happens it is like the car is in neutral. It has a loss of power for 10- 20 seconds. This issue is very concerning as there is no power at all. I am worried that at some point it may stay this way longer, disabling the car completely. I now also have an extremely loud rattle coming for the transmission area. I believe the hard shifting has caused the flywheel to start failing. |
