Makes sense ;^) - Just gotta get under it

Insert mounted. Observations: tighter shifts and almost no slap. A tad more vibration through steering wheel on hard acceleration but in general it feels 'crisper'. It's a keeper.

NorthValley, that's exactly how I would describe it. More vibration in the cockpit. Doesn't sound like a good thing. Vibration over time means quicker breakdown of components that are causing vibration. Not sure what is causing it though.

I don't feel vibration in the cockpit, just a tiny bit more through the steering wheel. It is very slight and definitely worth it for the smoother shifts. I hope you resolve your issue.

The insert completely changed the way my Q5 drove. All the shifts are much smoother with the biggest difference b/w 1 and 2. I hated the lurch/downshift from 2 to 1 when coming to a stop. When I first got the Q5 I almost hit someone because of that downshift, and now I don't even feel it downshifting. I have't felt any unusual vibration. I would definitely recommend the insert! Made the Q5 so much more enjoyable.

I have noticed on our SQ5 after I did the 3 inserts that when I am go into Launch mode that the shifts are not nearly as jarring as they were when the inserts were not in place. Everything is firm and solid now.

what are the other 2? differential inserts and __________?

I just did the transmission insert and cannot believe how much better shifts are - amazing change for the price and simplicity......

New 2019 Q5. I’m experiencing the same downshifting shudder/jerking that a lot of others are also experiencing. I really hate it. I like everything else about the car but this really bothers me. I see the transmission mounts only fit on 2017 and earlier years. Anyone know of one I can use on a 2019? Really would like to fix this problem ASAP. Thanks for your help.

You should post your problem over on the Q5, GEN 2 forum (2018+.....)

You have a completely different trans than the Gen 1 Q5's.
