Why does my 2005 Passat not shift into first gear?
My 2005 C6 A6 will NOT shift into first gear until I fully stop the car — a rolling stop, no matter how slow, simply keeps the car in second. Then, it lags when I press the accelerator. My 1997 A8 did this, my 1999 A6, 2000 A6 4.2, 2001 A6 4.2 ditto.

So, I noticed that my car jolts forward or “jerks” when I accelerate from a complete stop. Sometimes it won’t if I’m not accelerating to a high speed quickly like in a neighborhood.
