The mark 2 golf 1.6idi I have has a strange problem when taking up gear relatively abruptly. Say I was changing from first to second I bring the clutch up relatively quickly and accelerate I get a sort of bump almost as if I was driving over a small hole.
This happens also if drving in third gear and I lift my foot off the accelerator, and then put my foot back down on it. There are 2 sort of bumps.
The car does not make a clunk and it does not happen when shifting down.
The engine does have vibration that goes into the dash, however after a good run this is minimal. When cold it is quite bad.
Does this sound like engine mounts? If so how long could I run the car like this if I drove it without being abrupt with the clutch.
I leave for a 4000 mile trip in less than two weeks, which will involve driving in hilly and bumpy areas. trouble is christmas is in the way and I am working.
Thanks
