So last year I had a DTE Pedalbox fitted to my 2015 DSG GTI. Here and there, not too consistently, the transmission would fall flat on its face after shifting into 3rd the very first time I would accelerate after taking it out of P after turning it on. So, again, this would *ONLY* happen the very first time accelerating when the car is on, and it exclusively happened on the 2-3 shift. Happened enough that it scared me and I got rid of the pedalbox.
Fast forward a couple months, and I needed a new DSG due to an entirely unrelated reason (middle bolt on the Roc Euro stabilizer/pendulum bar backed out, sheered the housing).
So, I have a "new" (to me, admittedly it was purchased secondhand from LKQ with 18K miles on it) DSG that has, to my knowledge, never had a Pedalbox or the like used in conjunction with it. I've had it installed since late July, and a few days ago I experienced the same issue as above. Wondering if anyone else has had this happen. It's very jarring when it happens, because I'm accelerating, and the moment it shifts to 3rd, it just "stutters," and seeems to disengage the moment it engages. Very uncomfortable, and it makes an audible clack. 1-2 seconds later it reengages and you're on your merry way.
I also want to take this time to bring up that it sometimes forgets what the hell its doing when manually downshifting from 3-2 in M. I know all about how the DSG works and how to communicate to it so that it knows what my next gear switch will be, so I know that it's not driver error. It only happens while I'm on the brakes, and actively downshifting through the gears from a higher speed (30mph+). I'll go from 6-5-4-3 just fine, all downshifts will work splendidly. Then as I'm approaching ~20mph and downshift to 2 for a low-speed turn, it RPMs just fall to ~1k, and don't go back up until I get on the throttle and THEN the downshift completes. It's also way more common than the above issue. Above issue has happened once and only once in the 8K miles I've put on the new trans, while this issue (3-2 awkwardness, hesitation) happens once every week or so.
Sorry if this is TMI.
