But tonight I was in a bit of a hurry, and 2wd just wasn't feeling like the power was getting to the road (tach running up to 2500 before it really felt like it was moving, and NEVER pulled like the Jetta could) so I popped it into 4wd so I could at least get some of the "pulls like a train" feeling. Thats when I started noticing the noise.


Hi geordi,

Were your tires spinning in 2WD? If not, then it sounds like more of a torque converter behavior than a lack of traction.

No, the tires weren't spinning. I've only been able to make them break loose twice, and both times were around a turn under had acceleration. I don't think it has the power to do a burn out. I'm going to flog it a bit today to try to figure out exactly when it is making noises, and I'll try a standard burnout just to see if its possible.

I'm very happy to report that after putting about 50 miles on, I can't duplicate the shudder. I've given it my best shot.

Shifts are must more crisp and less noticeable. Before I had the work done, the shifts would take, I swear, a second or so to complete. I see the RPMs slowly drop after the shift. Now it's just a little "bump" and the shift is done. Much better!

I've not towed my trailer yet, and most likely won't be until track day season starts back up next spring.

When I got it home, I did noticed that the ATF was on the low side for a hot reading. It was reading down in the "cold" region, so I added a little less than half a quart, so it wasn't that much too low.

So far, so good. Now...where I'd put that info on extended warranties... :)

Yeah...I'm going to wait a while on it though. I want to make sure all the demons have been excorcised. Plus, being without a vehicle for over a week has sucked. I'm happy to be independent again and not bumming rides. When I got out of town for Christmas we'll be taking the wifes minivan, so I'll probably ship it off then.
