jerky shifter??

[VinNyS4]

My shifter seems to be kinda jerky. When im at a complete stop and take off nice and smooth the shifter looks as if it tightens up and stays that way, and when I let off the gas it gets loose and will continue to do this (tighten up) everytime I get on the gas. Is it the tranny mounts? The car shifts smooth with no grinding.

Mine does that too. From what I understand, its normal. If you're meticulous about it, get the JHM tranny makeover.

If you're just talking about shifter movement when going on-off gas, that's normal. A JHM won't cure that...

[VinNyS4]

yeah its when I get on the gas the shifter gets tight and wont jerk and when i let off completely it will jerk slightly and stay still untill I get back on the gas.

mine as well.... i just try and ignore it

[VinNyS4]

will Tranny Stabilizer help it some what?
is should minimize movement b/w the engine and the tranny, right?

check the condition of your motor and transmission mounts. sounds like they are worn. upgrading/replacing them will help, but probably won't get rid of it completely. A little movement is normal. snub mount and Drive train stabilizer bar will help too if you don't have them.

mine does that with new 034 motor mounts, rs4 trans mounts, rear diff bushings, snub mount. I know i need a new rear diff mount but that won't really affect the shifter shake. it's normal..

2nd.

Drivetrain stabilizer bar especially helps in this regard.

Consider it a feature.

[AudiSportB5S4]

people say to get SNUB mount, motor and tranny mounts, REAR diff mount which helps the most and DTS, all can be found @ 034 except for DTS i think, get AWE or ASP! I have all except the rear diff mount from 034 and DTS which i plan on doing with h sport sway bar kit during the summerrr
