Default Click noise when accelerating

Hey all, just bought a '09 A4 2.0T automatic. When Im accelerating from stop, I always feel this click or two on the accelerator after i step on the gas for a few seconds - I can hear it too. Any thoughts on what it might be or is that normal?

Yup I've posted about this too and can't figure out what it is. I only get it on the initial start. After the first acceleration, it doesn't resurface.

After how many seconds does the click occur? You guys aren't talking about the hill-hold feature disengaging as you take off from a stop, are you?

Do you hear it, or feel it? (Or both?)

yeah, i sense the same thing. it only happens after i initially start the car and start accelerating for the first time, and it happens every single time. there is about two clicks right before the auto lock engages. i can actually feel it on my feet against the gas pedal. i figure it was a normal thing, at least i hope it's normal.
