Hi had this in mine only when booting it though. Then found the magic button ECS - Sport.
Sorted my problem, but normal driving it’s fine either on or off, smooth shifting all through the gears
It's nothing to do with traction control. It's the limiter coming in at the same time as changing gear. The result is an almighty bang that feels like you've hit the biggest ever pot hole. It's not right but they (PFL) all seem to do it.I’ve just tried a redline gear change from 1-2 with traction off, still does it
Its fine in auto, just manual gear change it causes the jolt..

One member here (kirit) had it confirmed that something is wrong and it needs new synchrons.
Thought i would double check if any other members had this sorted as im going to mention it when my car goes in Thursday.

New synchrons? To me, it's a software problem with the gearbox. It's when you simultaneously change gear just as the limiter comes in. It seems to really confuse it and that's when you get the resultant bang...really quite an horrific feeling and so savage that it can't be good for the car. It once happened so bad that I was surprised my dashboard didn't shatter!One member here (kirit) had it confirmed that something is wrong and it needs new synchrons.

Although someone said there was a fault, we haven’t heard anyone say it fixed it either.
My 8P used to do it and my 8V does it.
Very savage when it happens but easily avoidable if you use S auto. Everyone says their car does it and nobody has reported any failure from this.
Good luck with the dealer but be prepared for the “ we’ve done a reset see how it goes “ or “they all do that sir” speech.

The best way I can describe it is to imagine you hitting a foot deep pot hole at 40mph! That is no exaggeration, it is that bad a feeling when it happens.
I take @Marshy point that you can leave it in auto and it clearly won't hit a limiter in this mode, but when you're having a good thrash in the car, you want to be in manual!
I ended up making sure I changed gear slightly earlier so as to not accidentally hit the limiter. It typically only happens changing from 1st to 2nd anyway as this happens so fast that you can mistime your change, hence hitting the limiter while changing gear.
My 8p was running apr 2+ and never did this when hitting limiter.
Sometimes you want to enjoy it in manual and just go all the way, i feel it seems sluggish when you don’t give it a beating from time to time.

Did you have an 8P RS3?
Thought you had a S3 previous?
Fascinating. I know a lot of us have clunking. Has the fix worked?Here’s the replacement parts / TPI for the 2nd gear synchron that was done under warranty
Not had the opportunity to check yet for one reason or another ...Fascinating. I know a lot of us have clunking. Has the fix worked?
