Clunky Gear Changes

Featured Replies

Hi all, has anybody got any experience/advice on how to reset/fix jerky gear changes at slow speeds, affecting both up and down shifts? I.e crawling in traffic speed or slight downhill low speed prompting a gear change is very noticeable, whereas normal acceleration is ok.

Any tips greatly received as all changes used to be very smooth. 20month old 2l Diesel with 40k on the clock. TIA. :-)

Is this a DSG Gearbox ?

Hi, yes it is DSG.

Very unlikely there is anything you would be able to do yourself, best advice would be to get a DSG specialist to check it.

Do you know if this is a DQ200 (dry clutch) unit ?

Correction regarding a specialist - at 20 months old, this should still be under warranty, shouldn't it?

AI says it's a wet clutch, yes it's a company car and under warranty but local dealer tends to ignore the 'issues' I raise and just do the routine servicing. 🙄

No other franchise nearby so was hoping some sort of gearbox learning reset sequence might have been possible somehow?

If your Company has one, get the fleet manager to pressure the stealer - surly in their interest to ensure no further damage to transmission.
