Wen super busy this week but wanted to share a new symptom. This only happens in extreme cold, and only when the transmission is still cold.
When I release the brake pedal to begin acceleration, I feel a vibration as the transmission goes into gear. It's almost as if it's a manual transmission (it's a DCT, ya, so it's close to that anyway) is lugging. Then I press the accelerator and the vibration goes away. Once the transmission is warmed up, it no longer occurs. I suspect the transmission is just cold and needs a warmup in the only way it can happen: with movement.
Anyone else experience this in extremely cold (less than 20 deg F) weather? Any other ideas? When I take my car in for the (long delayed) splash guard install and headlight recall, I plan to mention this to the service writer.
Seriously wishing I were back in San Diego. :fluffy:
