yup same here if i go easy and almost finese it i can get it to be "smooth" from 2 to 1 but normally is clunky, been like it since driving it off the lot
May have just not noticed it before lol but Ill be flushing soon and upgrading mounts, bushings, etc.. so we’ll see!

Yeah, if Im gentle it wont do it and it only does it from 2nd to 1st in either manual or “drive”. I currently have Cobb’s Stage 2 and DSG tune on it which I have heard are garbage. Im switching over to sneeky this weekend.

Do yourself a favor and get an EQT ECU and TCU tune. The TCU tune is fantastic.

I gave this a go on the way home today and downshifted all the way from 5th to 1st a few times and each time the move to 1st was fine for me. I guess it has a lot to do with downshifting at the right time. No jerkiness or harshness at all, today at least.
