The dsg transmission is very jerky in 1-2 gears it operates as though the clutch is not engaging/disengaging properly. When traveling at highway speeds with the cruise control engaged the engine rpms wander as though the clutch is engaging and disengaging. Starting from a deadstop or driving at low speeds are very uncomfortable due to the jerky-ness.
