Al recommends having the warranty work done asap (if you have symptoms)...if you wait, you may need to go back for a TC if the first round doesn't solve the problem....That's twice you need to go through the three ring circus with a dealer who may not even acknowledge you have a problem if they can't duplicate it after you leave your car with them...not just once, but probably twice....and hopefully you will have symptoms before the warranty is up.

It's a hazy drawn out process of if and when the shudder may occur during your warrantied time of ownership, especially for someone like yourself with very low miles....

They should recall all A8s built before their cut-off date and R/R the complete transmission, with or without any shudder symptoms.....

Good luck.

You're speaking my language, thank you.
