Description of the problem	My 2006 vw gti with a dsg transmission worked flawlessly for approximately 10k miles. Starting at about 12k miles and up until now at 16k miles i am experiencing issues with the automatic transmission. This includes delays at shift points, causing erratic shifting, jerking, long stall pauses, clutch slipping, surging in forward and reverse, etc. Typically when pulling out into traffic from a parking lot for example there is a long 2 sec pause between 1 and 2. This is disturbing considering approaching traffic and waiting for 2nd gear to engage with power. Another example is noticeable jerking when shifting at low speeds typically from 1-2 almost feeling like a bump from another car. In addition i have experienced no gear engagement when shifting into reverse. Even though it says reverse it acts like neutral. I have queried the dealer in regard to issues and even taken it in. Because there were no fault codes their response was it is operating as normal.
