RE: A4 Driveline Shudder



Mine too, and it happens from 3rd to 4th aand sometimes 4th to 5th, only under 
partial throttle too.  Sort of like a lag, right?  Dealer said he would "try 
to simulate it".  Yeah, whatever.

Yep, my A4 has this shudder.  Only happens with hard acceleration
after an upshift (i.e. shift and floor it), and doesn't happen
all the time.  Haven't noticed an rpm dependency.
