    Question for Automatic trans?

    Well I was having a fun time today in step mode... Until I noticed something odd. I lit into it in 1st gear around a corner (wonderful sound) until the car started lurching forwards and back violently. I looked at the tach and it was around 5400 rpm. Up shifted and it stopped. Is this a problem? Don't want to blow my trans before I get the manual all set up and ready to go.

    Yeah I was reading a bit on "limp mode" and some pointed towards a new battery fixing that--strange.

    Was thinking of bushings, maybe differential bushings, but if it's really bad I doubt those would do it.

    Never had that problem before. Currently at 117,000 miles and I use Steptronic a lot but it's always been smooth from M1 through M5.

    Did you do the drain and fill method? Just curios as to whether something could have gotten stirred up in there if it was a flush, etc.

    When you noticed the jerking motion, were you letting off the throttle and/or feathering it?
