From a standstill in 1st gear @ low revs, I get a nasty 'thumping' through the chassis until the revs are up. If I upshift early, it still does it. If I get the revs up quick & shift above 4k or so, it doesn't feel as bad - almost like it's not there. Slipping the clutch masks it. No CEL & no codes.

When cold (or after letting sit for a bit) it doesn't do it - only after I've put some stop/go miles on it.

'00 1.8T w/ 110k+ & original clutch.

I figure clutch &/or flywheel. Yea or nay? Thanx in advance.

bad mounts, motor or tranny.?

Nah. This is different - like the clutch is letting go in short bursts.

Almost like a gear skipping? Only at WOT? little bang and surge? 2-3 gear a single Hiccup? 3 2K's with same problem on line. Replaced clutch today but have to break it in a little to know for sure if it fixed it!

Sorry, I don't have any details for you, but I've heard of some slop in there creating some noises that are felt and heard through the chassis. I can't tell you specifically what you should look at though.

mtl expos RIP

I am going to check mine

Exactly... but don't really feel it @ WOT. I'm guessing clutch / flywheel.

Ill let u know--so far real nice with new clutch but need to put a few hundred easy miles on here to break in the clutch. Then Ill let her rip! Ill let u know!

Have you done any work on the clutch recently and this started happening?
