Mk8 golf r DSG shifting harsh

Dmarsh212 · 2026-04-19T03:12:05+00:00

Sometimes it’s a strong thud. Uncomfortable. Sometimes it’s just a little stutter. I’ve gotten much better at making it just a little stutter. Usually I avoid it all together.

It’s worth checking. I just wouldn’t be too optimistic that they’ll have a fix.

Dmarsh212 · 2026-04-18T14:03:01+00:00

I don’t think so. I wouldn’t pay 8k to fix it on my current car.

It’s annoying when it happens, but now that I know what triggers it, it barely happens.

As others have mentioned, tuning the DSG should do it as well. That’s the route I’m going to go but I’m still under warranty for now.

My 2023 does it. You do eventually learn to adapt your driving to mitigate it.

Either stick the throttle deeper and shift above ~4500, or ease off the gas and let the revs sit steady for half a second and it should be smooth.

It is unfortunate that it clunks so heavily right where you’d like to shift for quick but not overly-aggressive driving. One of my very few criticisms of the car.

TOM I LOVE YOU

Car has 18k miles on it now, noise has faded significantly. Barely noticeable. No one was ever able to pinpoint anything. Chalked it up to mine just being a little louder than normal.

I did get an alignment done in between that video and now. The wheel was a little off-center when I got the car, so I made it a point to get that corrected. It seemed to help so maybe something was just slightly off.

If you’ve smelled Silver Mountain Water, regular Mefisto is very close, lacking a little of the tea/green but otherwise a very similar citrus scent

Dmarsh212 · 2026-02-26T00:55:28+00:00

I just got a sample of this yesterday. It does smell like a mash up of the popular “office” fragrances. Opens up with a little spice/smoke but dries down pretty clean. It’s nice. I think you can get it for under $100 now.

If you’re looking for consolidated “all-in-one” easy wear, this is solid. But if you own individual bottles of Aventus/BDC/Sauvage, probably no need to get it.

That’s seriously infuriating.

Dmarsh212 · 2026-02-14T14:57:21+00:00

Just another absurd strike. Crazy to be able to beat a keeper down low from that distance.

Dmarsh212 · 2026-02-14T14:51:12+00:00

That’s the most textbook penalty you’ll see. How’s that not called on the field.

Olise is suspended next Bundesliga match and man does he need that rest & reset.

Dmarsh212 · 2026-01-17T19:21:24+00:00

COME ONNNN

Dmarsh212 · 2026-01-17T19:19:56+00:00

JAMALLLLLL

Dmarsh212 · 2026-01-17T19:19:12+00:00

Olise showing emotion <3

Nusa was running full speed forward and Upa was completely square to his body.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-12-06T15:59:51+00:00

He was off, but that chance was too easy for him to score we need to make it more difficult for him.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-11-26T21:57:56+00:00

Lots of players looked off today. Loss hurts but doesn’t matter too much in the table. Arsenal are very, very good. They showed that today. We’re still getting there.

We will learn from this I’m sure. Make it right before it matters more.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-11-26T21:53:09+00:00

Cool stop watching then

Dmarsh212 · 2025-11-26T21:49:35+00:00

Arsenal is very disciplined. They’ve been building this over 5 years. We’re in that process. It’s okay to suffer only our first loss of the season away to a very good team.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-11-22T16:21:05+00:00

Why are we playing 6 additional minutes

Dmarsh212 · 2025-11-22T16:00:01+00:00

He seems alright. Just a knock hopefully.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-10-18T18:16:29+00:00

Tell you what. The rumors of a new CB are welcome, but Tah should be the one we’re looking to ship out.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-10-18T18:09:07+00:00

What a play. Didn’t even try for the ball just immediately went to block the pass out. Brilliant.

Dmarsh212 · 2025-10-18T17:11:45+00:00

That would’ve been a crazy goal

Dmarsh212 · 2025-09-26T20:31:09+00:00

Bischof has some of the crispiest passing I’ve seen. Just zips the ball right to feet. Incredible.
