Ive been a post ***** lately, but this just came to my attention. When shifting from first to second, i pull it all the way till it stops into second, but then when i let the clutch all the way out, the shifter like pops back about a centimeter or two. Now im not sure this is an issue, but none of the other gears do it. Should i be worried?

 

Basicauly whats happening is the sncro's in the tranny arnt alined i have driven about 3 of these audi's with the same issue it doesnt mean the tranny is going to go but its just the the tranny isnt alined....

Question have you put in a short shifter?

 

Nope still the stock shifter, but i got the car at 85,000 mi, so i dont know how the other owners treated it before me.

 

lol when im in 2nd if say im at 2k rpms and then floor it the shifter moves forward almost 1/4 inch! then if it;s high rpms and i push the gas and let off push the gas and let off ect it will just keep shaking the stick back and forth... Audi ftw!

 

hahaha crazy, so im not alone in this. ill ask the mechanic at the dealership when i take it in for service about it and get back to you guys

 

Your not alone dont even worry about it unless you wanna rebuild that tranny

 

just sounds like you guys are talking about driveline movement. The stock mounts allow the engine and transmission to move enough to cause the shifter to move. Put in stiffer mounts and the shifter will not move as much.

Even upgrading the shifter linkage pushing will reduce how much the shifter box moves around.
