Weird intermittent transmission noise

[stuckinohio]

I own a 2010 S4 DSG Prestige. Loved the car for over a year now but started to hear a weird intermittent noise just before up shifts and downshifts when driving the car easy. Sounds like a light grind/crunch noise like a bad actuator-no codes or shifting poblems but just that noise--seems worse when cold--hope nothing serious!!! I have a schwaben scan tool from ECS tuning and no codes are present. This sound familiar to anyone? Thanks!!

I've read a bunch of people complain of grind noises and mechatronic unit failures but this seems different due to no codes and zero drivability issues

Sounds like mech unit is going. Its serviceable tranny, try fluid/filter change
