I've a 2016 Golf 1.8T with an automatic transmission (not DSG) and I've just noticed that the shifts out of reverse are pretty rough, they're noisy and the car shudders a bit. This behavior is limited to shifting out of reverse both into neutral and drive. The shifts in drive are smooth, no issues there. I'd appreciate some help in troubleshooting. I've roughly 51k miles on the odo and some searching online said VW doesn't recommend a transmission fluid swap until 80k for non-DSG cars. The car also hasn't been throwing any errors on the screen, should I still get the OBD port scanned at AutoZone? I had a shifter microswitch replaced as part of a recall a couple of years ago. Any pointers/help are appreciated.
