Jolting when accelerating and braking!!!!

[scspoon]

Just purchased a used 2011 A4 Quattro with 53,000 miles. I feel like there is something wrong when I accelerate and when I brake. It feels like the car jolts a little bit and somewhat stutters. The best way I can describe it is that it feels like when you drive a manual car and down shift but the car is an 8 speed automatic. Is this "jolt or stutter" normal? Is it because it is all wheel drive and I am just not used to it? I am determining whether or not I should take it to be looked at. I have a 6 month/6,000 mile warranty on the car. What do you guys think I should do?

I think I have what you are describing...its just the transmission engaging and disengaging...

check out the Apikol rear diff mount thread. I didnt install mine yet but i think that will address the issue, unless its something else :)

misfires? coil packs/plugs?

I have had this in both my b8 and b8.5 just something I have come to deal with, I think it's our transmissions in stop and go traffic, i sit in traffic 25% of my daily commute and have tried to drive it as gingerly as possible to see if I could control it but it still rears is head even trying that although somewhat less. The harder you drive these things the better they feel, that's what I always hear and that may be the case here in the truest sense
I wouldn't say it's all the time but prolly 30-40% anyways with my experience
