| Description of the problem | 2007 vw gti with dsg transmission. The transmission slams into gear when slowing down and then accelerating again, this could lead to accidents and or serious mechanical failure due to the stress on the drivetrain components, brought it up at a service appt and technician said it was normal, i do not believe having a transmission making a loud bang sound and slamming into gear, jerking the car forward is normal. |
