Dont spank the clutch out, do a more fluid release and return to WOT.

Default When i put the shifter in 2nd, and bring the clutch to the friction point,
i feel like it takes a moment for the gear to engage fully....Dont feel this with shifting into any other gear. So i wait a moment before releasing clutch fully, which slows down accel.

I have the exact same problem. Dealer said everyone with 3.0 is complaining about it. I hate it.

Do you notice a delay before 2nd engages?

The extra-long throw doesn't help

Default Need to bash Audi engineering here....let's start designing decent product.!
My '97 2.8MQ 5 speed was silky smooth! Don't the design engieers ever use the cars to see what a lousy job they did?
