Anyone experience drivetrain slop on the MT6 3.0?
It's kinda been getting to me recently and wondering if anyone else has this. Seems like whenever I'm modulating the throttle with the car in gear I can feel the engine / drivetrain thunking. For example, I can be cruising along and slightly get on the throttle, kind of feel a little shudder / wobble / thunk, then the car accelerates. I also feel the same thing when I let off the throttle slightly while cruising along. If I jump on the gas it's more pronounced. I can also feel it when I start braking with the car still in gear.
Anyone else?
Anyone else?

Doesn't sound right. I've got 37K miles and it's still smooth as silk...
Maybe have them check the motor mounts? Just a guess. If they tell you it's normal, you may want to look into a snub mount from either APR or Neuspeed...

Try an APR snub mount to reduce the slop...
ECS Tuning has them for $49.95. Replaces the OEM rubber snub mounts that are giving excess play in the transmission (hence the thunking). It's a quick swap to get some improvement.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ecstuning.com/stage/edpd/pagebuild_v2.cgi?html=vehicle-home.html&make=Audi&model=B6%20A4&subm odel=Quattro&engine=1.8T">ECS Tuning</a></li></ul>

hmm... well, it's not so much a thunk as it is a kinda wobbling feeling...
like the engine is sorta rocking / bouncing on the mounts. There's no noise, but it's kinda like I can floor it and it kinda bounces as it takes off. And sometimes it's not there when I accelerate. I'm not sure what to make of it. A passenger in the car (who's into cars / bikes) mentioned that he could hardly notcie it. Maybe I'm just being paranoid.
