| Description of the problem | On multiple occasions either when up shifting or downshifting, the dsg transmission in my 2008 volkswagen r32 have been very jerky, or come with a "clunky" feel and noise. Also have tried to downshift from 6th gear, down 2, as vw recommends when passing on a highway, and the car will either hesitate for a few seconds before it finally decides to shift, and then i still have no power for a few more seconds until the transmission decides it wants to send power to the wheels again. I have taken the vehicle in question in on numerous occasions for the problems, and all the dealer says, is either they cannot reproduce the effects, or the car has no fault codes, so therefore it must just be me. |
