Default How do you fix the jumpy low speed throttle?
Like when backing out of a parking space, it's very jerky... no matter how easy I am on the gas. Pulling forward too, but not as bad. I don't mind it too much, but when someone new is in the car it's kinda annoying/embarrassing.

Default 6MT or DSG?
If 6MT, try releasing the clutch a little slower, if DSG, you're SOL

backing out is one thing, but in forward gear, put it in 2nd.

Let the DSG engage the clutch so car creeps for a second and then gradually press pedal.

Is the 3.2 VR6 an interference motor? I assume it is.
