Hi
When the car downshifts in the lower gears, usually around 3rd, or 2nd, there's a clunk noise, kinda like when your car door locks. I'm guessing it's either the transmission or the gearbox? Anyone else had this prob and got it diagnosed? The car drives fine, and its just a noise. I'm just afraid it'll get worse down the road or worse, something breaks.:confused::confused:

DSG's are inherently noisy, especially when downshifting. As long as it is shifting fine, keep on motoring on.
