Hi,

I'm having what I think is a transmission problem with this car. It has the DL501 (0B5) DSG transmission, and it is driving very poorly. It shudders (vibrates) very noticeably when starting or shifting in D, and it surges in both D or M.

The car is not throwing any transmission codes to help narrow the problem down. I'm hoping somebody might be able to suggest some values to log?

Steps taken so far:
1. Drained old ATF. (BTW, when draining the fluid look an odd light tan or very light green color. Can provide pictures if it helps.)
2. Re-filled with 6.25L of RAVENOL J1D2111 following the procedure for correct fluid level.
3. Did a test drive and everything seemed better, but on the next (longer) drive the problems slowly returned.
4. Followed the Basic Setting steps here http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/7-Speed_S-Tronic_Direct-Shift_Gearbox_(DSG/0B5). All 3 Basic Setting steps completed successfully, but didn't make any noticeable difference.
5. Checked for any new codes between all of these steps but it hasn't thrown any auto trans codes during the entire time.

I also tried logging some things that looked like they might be helpful, but I could really use some guidance here:

This car was partially rebuilt before I got it. I set the ATF level to the correct level when I finished the repairs, but I'm now kicking myself for not draining everything out. I can't verify if it had the right fluid when I topped it off. It feels like the clutches might be slipping even though this car has less than 20K miles. I don't mind getting into the transmission, but I don't know if I should be looking at the mechatronic or clutch disks or something else entirely. Does anyone have any suggestions to narrow down the problem?
