2G Trans problem

[2G Josh]

I was driving on the interstate yesterday and only going 70 on cruise control and I accidently bumped my shifter into neutral. I thought nothing of it and just put it back into drive. When I did that I believe I heard a loud thud and then my cars front end dipped down and the front tires screeched or skidded... Scared the hell out of me. But probably an hour later I stopped to top off the tank and that's when I heard loud noises from the car.

When at a light or complete stop the car vibrates and shakes. When turning at low speeds I hear clunking type noises. When driving normal it'll shift through the gears fine but I gave it a little gas and when it downshifted it took longer then normal and it kinda felt like it was slipping or something. And I I finally got home and into the driveway I shifted through the gears and a couple times at slammed really hard into the gears from like reverse to drive...

I've never had a car that had a major problem like this and nor am I a mechanic by any means. But obviously this is the transmission? What the hell did I do to the car when I was on the highway? Should I take it somewhere and get it diagnosed?

Sounds strange, only thing i can think of is because cruise was on when it went into neutral engine revved up and when you put it back in gear it broke the spiders or dif, drain the fluid and drop the pan to see if there are any steel on the magnets in the pan? Just a guess...

Thanks for the reply.

But what pan are you talking about?

No offense but if you have to ask, take it to a transmission shop for diagnosis.

After your first post I got to reading. Next time I have time I will drop the pan and see if anything is in there.

If there is stuff in there does that mean it's the tranny and not the dif?

the diff is in the tranny, if metal is present on magnets you may be able to tell by the shape where it came from, the diff also can be remover and checked. Check the link I posted, also is your car AWD-FWD NA or TSI

Turbo or non turbo?

Turbo.

Even if it still shifts smoothly through the gears can it still be the tranny?

Ok Turbo FWD Auto,

When at a light or complete stop the car vibrates and shakes. When turning at low speeds I hear clunking type noises. Sounds Like an axle or diff . When driving normal it'll shift through the gears fine but I gave it a little gas and when it downshifted it took longer then normal and it kinda felt like it was slipping or something. This sounds like clutch packs. And I I finally got home and into the driveway I shifted through the gears and a couple times at slammed really hard into the gears from like reverse to drive... again this sounds like diff or tranny, also check your motor mounts this can also add to the effects, more than 1 thing may have broke
