Hey guys, my MS6 has about 1200km on it. I have noticed that the clutch engagement is not smooth on my car. When i shift under power, the car jerks around before the clutch seems to catch and then the car will take off.
Any one else noticde this type of issue?? I have driven other Turbo AWD cars and the shifting/enguagement seems much more instant than my car.
 
It sounds like you need to find the exact engagement point. Sometimes it takes time??

Could be the motor mount, a few people have had issues with theirs. I'd get it checked out.
 
I have screwed with egagement points here and there. The car rocks back and fourth violently when i let the clutch in under power.
Maybe i will check out the motor mount thing, what are the symptoms of a bad mount??

Symptoms are exactly what you are describing :).

you will get violent movement when the engine rock, ie when you shift.
