The shifting feels notchy, how have you guys handled this problem?

Go to the dealer and have them reprogram the shifter. There's three different settings, they'll let you try them out in the shop. Cost me about $45.

I was wondering if it was just a transmission fluid issue or not. We all know Audi manuals aren't exactly bolt-action precise, but it seems to hesitate when switching gears, and that bothers the hell out of me.

If it is just a fluid's issue, what have you guys had good luck switching to, and how many quarts do I need to do the change-over?

It's not necessarily a fluid issue. While the car is naturally notchy, you can always try a JHM short throw, updated bushings and linkage, etc.

Get a stubmount, enginemounts, trany mounts and a rear diffmount. Then you'll have your self a really smooth trany.
