Experts, i'll ask you before I get crazy or start throwing parts at it which my wallet does not want right now. The vehicle in question is a 97 A4 TQM.
2nd gear likes to pop out on deceleration, i'll downshift to take a turn, stand on it only to find it's in neutral. If I downshift into second and hold the shifter back, it stays in gear, no grinding, but there does seem to be a large "clunk" that seems to come from the rear of the car on occasion. I can shift into 2nd, run it up through the RPMs, let off, stand on it again and it'll pop out as well. There are no issues whatsoever getting it into gear.
Mounts? Tranny about to sh#t the bed? I've read it's possibly the snub mount, or tranny mounts, or rear diff mount. I've made a few SMALL adjustments to my shifter basket, which seem to help a bit, so i'm going to try that again before getting to crazy. Any input is appreciated! TIA
