Default A-4 downshift jerk
I have an A4 in my 1998 Z28. Bought the car with 25K on it, now have 46K on the car. Its done this ever since I bought it. When the car downshifts from 2nd to 1st gear the car jerks forward. At about 30K miles i replaced the u joints and it went away for about.. 50 miles and came back. Every other shift in the car is picture perfect. The jerk feels like it comes from the rear. Like someone bumping into the car almost. If I put the car into neutral it does NOT happen. It DOES happen in both D and OD.
