Drive Shaft/Propeller Shaft issue, anyone else?
#16
I suspect my drave shaft may be going. Symptom: She bucks sometimes when I take my foot off the gas.
The drive shaft issue is well-documented BUT was reported have been resolved during the middle of the 2004 model years.
I have heard of others offering replacemnt part for $400.

That doesn't sound like drive shaft, shaft has vibration under heavy acceleration- other let off gas or slow starts minimum vibration. I could be wrong, sounds like something else? My transfer acted up at one time and did like a bucking feel when letting off on the gas, my guy reset the values back to zero and seemed to clear it up.

Funny how he called me right after I wrote this (ordered key remote piece since old one quit working).
When he changed the transfer case he never reset values? I developed banging/bucking upon accel/decel? I left the CTT so he could do service and said he would look into it, when I picked it up he said everything was fine and reading up on transfer cases it mentioned reset values to 0?
He said the values were set to zero because; when a new car is sold usually has a few hundred miles on it, it takes a while for the vehicle to learn the driving habits of the driver and controls the rpm limits of when the tiptronic shift to the next gear, driving it hard (like I always do) the unit will carry the shifting limits higher before the next gear is engaged. I told him I noticed how mine will go right to the redline limit sometimes a line or two over before it shifts to the next gear. ? Computers learning the processes of the car? Runs great now! Very strong.

Those of you who have done the driveshaft replacement yourself how long did it take? I've heard about 2-3hrs?
I am trying to get a time estimate for my local guy to do it. I would do it myself and was actually kind of looking forward to it but the weekend got away from me with the beautiful weather (and the beers) and now I don't want to go another week before fixing it since the vibration is getting slightly worse.
