Default 2017 S3 DSG Kick/Jerk

17' S3

Lately I've been noticing a small "kick" or "flutter" from the transmission when accelerating from 1st to 2nd under light (city driving) throttle.

This seems most pronounced when the car hasn't warmed up yet.

It's happening in full auto mode, everything in comfort. I've found that it goes away either under very light acceleration or hard acceleration.

Anyone notice anything like this?

I have this in my '15 if I change acceleration between shifts, particularly when the trans is not in S - and then when in deceleration - its a common 'complaint' - to me a feature, I like being reminded its a real mechanical clutch, not a phony slush-box.
