Help!
I was driving today on the freeway in "S" and all of a sudden the car did a hard shift (It has never shifted hard since bought new in May). Ever since that hard shift there is now a whine that increases/decreases with engine speed and a slight vibration tuned to the whine can be felt through the gear selector.
No flashing "D" or any other idiot lights and I haven't run VCDS on it yet but has anyone heard of this happening? Any leads that I can have as I go back to the with as it heads in for service?
Mostly this seems to now be occurring when slowing down for or speeding away from traffic signals - when slowing down on occasion the car feels as if it is bucking as it tries to go into 1st. However it also occurred as I was getting up to speed from an onramp onto the freeway.
The problem is noticeable in both "D" and "S" and a couple of shifts were so hard and delayed they freaked me out on the freeway and I had to take surface streets home. When put in "R" the car seems to not reverse smoothly.
14200 on the odometer so it is still under warranty - just looking for a place to start researching. Search didn't pull up anything useful.
