2nd to 3rd gears...

[solekeeper]

Hey guys, I've been noticing something when I drive my car in Tiptronic. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the car makes a knock sound. Like I ran over something.. .Sometimes it's rough, sometimes it's soft. But I've noticed this time and time over again.. Only from these 2 gears.. any ideas?

at what rpm are you shifting? Mine used to do that at low RPM's. I don't shift gear until about 5k RPM

Did your do this at low shifting? I cant really tell you where I'm shifting between there. I'll keep an eye out next time..

i get this occasionally sometimes but i think it has to do with my shifting. check and see if it occurs at all RPM's

it myte be ur motor mount's hmm!

It's actually been doing ok lately, it seems to be so smooth at times... to the point you can't even tell I shifted.. and the other times, well....

i have a similar problem, although mine is with AT, not the manual mode, i dotn really use that. when driving home in traffic at low speed, sometimes when i go from coasting to applying gas, it kicks really hard. i think it is from 2-3 third gear but it is impossible to tell as i am in AT. since i'm going about 15mph i'm assuming its going from 2-3. its hard to reproduce as well, but it happens pretty consistently.

both of my fxs do this when its really cold

I get this occasionally at a little higher speed, at very minimal throttle position. Probably between 3rd and 4th. It feels like it's made a shift with the torque converter still locked up. A bit of a 'bump' between shifts, and can be fairly abrupt at times.

Hopefully, it's par for the course.

i remember talking about this a LONG time ago and i think everyone agreed that it was normal...its just the transmisson shifting hard

Beat me to it.
Its the tranny clapping on the 3rd gear hard.
I hate that noise cause i think i am wearing out the clutch.
Try to shift at a better time.

I too get some hard shifts from 2-3rd.
But I also noticed it takes longer to shift from 1-2nd.

good i'm glad to hear that this is normal and not a tranny going bad or something. especially since i'm out of factory warrantee and only have the extended which is probably a nightmare to actually use.
