Skoda Octavia MKII Jerks When in D or R Mode At The Start

@HarleQuinn Oh, I see. Thanks. Yes, mine is in bumper to bumper. If every option fails, I ll go for a used transmission as replacement.

Also, the jerking in Reverse has stopped - that is strange. Before it used to jerk in reverse also.

So, an update - 

 

@HarleQuinn @KenONeill @TheClient and others...

 

I went to workshop today, had a test drive. Bad news - the car is still jerking bad post mounting changes. We are now 99 per cent sure that the problem is gear box - but not sure what has failed there. Also, while driving for some time, we could hear the fast paced 'knock knock '  sound inside the car (very audible when racing the car and while at dead stop). The mechanic says that the sound is from gear box and something might have broken there. I have a doubt - if something is broken inside gearbox - the gearbox should freeze completely to work.

 

The owner of workshop over there stated that he will perform a ECM reset of gearbox tomorrow - that might help. Let's see. Your thoughts?

Also, the mechanic suggested that there are some vacumm leaks, he will be repairing those.

@kenzone My car is still in garage. The mechanics confirmed that it is geaebox fault. They are planning to repair the gearbox and probably will be replacing it a refurbished one from the aftermarket. DSGs are not good, full of bugs.

Everyone,

 

The problem is solved by replacing the Gear box now and Flywheel. We tried to repair it in past 4 months but it was a very tedious task. So, we got in touch with one dealer in Mumbai city who sold us a working gearbox of an accidental car which was same make and type. I got it for 1500USD. 

 

The car is working smooth now. Thanks all for helping and suggestions.
