Reply With QuoteWhat "mode" were you in with your DSG? I'm guessing you weren't running in manual mode.

I've had this problem several times now. If I take off quickly at the lights whilst cornering, it revs right out (approaching 7k and a little past redline), then hesitates whilst changing from 1st to 2nd and the gear change is really rough. Anyone else had this issue? I was entering the Monash today from Warrigal Rd near Chadstone when it happened. Only happens when I'm cornering though....

I was in D, I try to use manual mode as much as possible. But regardless the gear change is violent.

My car did this once or twice on 'as quick as possible' starts when shifting first to second, which later (probably) caused the infamous jerky gear changes... all resolved by new clutch + mechatronics replaced free later on, plus a DSG tune to be safe.

Nah mate, mine just jammed the k1 clutch on. Anything relating to the actual mechanical operation etc of the gearbo though is mechatronics controlled so if you are getting a hard shift as you describe then this falls in line with the other failures around the globe with the same issue.

Those rough shifts occurred ages ago though, maybe 30-40 thousand kms ago. May or may not be related.

The hesitation between 1st and 2nd is normal on MK5 and MK6 Golf GTI for protection of gearbox & drivetrain. Effect is more apparent in Sport mode. The catching of 2nd gear is therefore more pronounced after the slight delay.
