This is an Audi A4 forum isn't it?

But just for you I'll change my screen name...sold the Jetta and bought the Audi 3 weeks ago.

I'm pretty sure...

At first I though maybe I still had the gas on a little or just missed the shift till I realized I hadn't made the shift yet. And I'm positive my foot wasn't on the gas when I restarted the engine and it did it again.
