So I've searched the forums with similar issues but no solution.

The car: 2014 Jetta TDI automatic post-fix, currently mileage is a bit over140.000km
the problem: Basically my car driving normally (by normally I mean 'driving miss daisy' style) there's no problem shifting but if I want to accelerate just a bit faster than normal, especially passing slower vehicles on a 2 lane road, the car shudders violently and whichever gear I'm in it wouldn't switch so I have to let go off the pedal and slowly push to let it switch to the next gear.
I do oil changes as required and my last transmission service + fuel filter was done last December.
I drive about 35,000km a year and almost all highway.

Any suggestions?

Does it feel like the engine is causing the shudder, or the transmission?

I had some issues with my EGR that cause a very bad shudder, but it could also be the DSG clutches freaking out?

It definitely feels like the transmission and I got an appointment on the 29th. If this is something that they cannot fix or will cost me a bundle, I'm gonna be done with VW TDIs.
I'll try to follow up on this post.
