A8 1st to 2nd slipping ...
Reaching out for other experiences or advice, to see if others have had this issue. 6 months ago, I had the shuddering problem. I took it to the dealer and they executed the TSB and replaced the fluid. That cured the problem. But as the weather got colder here, I noticed another strange issue.
So the car sits in my driveway overnight, the temp gets down into the 30's. I remote crank it and let it warm up. I get in the car, shift to drive and as I pull out, when it shifts to second, it feels like it stops pulling forward and the RPMs increase(slipping I assume). Typically I feel this then let off the gas. It then shifts into 2nd. This is the only time it does it, if I immediately stop and start moving again, it shifts normally - it's just that very first shift. Anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I plan to take it to the dealer but I have the feeling it's going to be hard to duplicate unless they recreate that exact same circumstance. |

The very first 1-2 shift is always goofy. after that it shifts fine. like the rear diff moan, after 2 corners it's gone.

Cool, thanks. So I discovered that if I park in my driveway with my car at an upward angle, it does it. If I park flat on the road, it does not. A doctor would say if it hurts to do "this", then don't do "this" lol

Mine does this as well. I've found I can avoid it by letting off the gas slightly as it makes the shift

I think they all do it.
What also works very well, before you drive off for the first time, put the transmission in M1, then M2 and wait for it to shift. It will take a couple of seconds then you'll feel the shift into 2nd. Then shift back into 1st and drive off. This works for me every time. |
