Shifts with a bang
 

Hi,
I recently bought a lovely 1999 Audi A6 Quattro AWD. I am pround to say I own this great vehicle, however.....
I noticed that as I am driving it - specifically beteen 35 and 45 miles per hour I feel a bang or like a jerk (bumb)feeling , once Im past
45 the vehicle drives super smoothly smoothly. ( I also noticed if i go from 30 to beyond 45 very quickly, its significanly decreases the jerk feeling)
Any suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
BigO

sounds like that gear is going
