Hello..
I'm trying to fix a clunk on my son's polo 1.2tsi manual 2016. 90k miles
Clunk/knock when up shifting.
You can prevent the clunk by easing right off the accelerator and smoothly coming up with the clutch, but not normal driving, every upshift is a clunk.
I've put an new dog bone in it - the old one was very soft. This has helped, bit not fixed it..
So I've looked at the gearbox mount and it looks like it has a lot of front/back movement:

Is this normal or excessive, not a lot of force was required to generate this movement.
Any ideas?

Re: Gearbox Mount
Looks like too much to me.
I'd replace that. Fairly quick job to do (unless you cross thread the bolt like I did and have to quickly find the tap kit to re-tap it
)
They will move just by hand, but that looks like too much.
Replaced mine well over a year ago with a Febi unit. Has started feeling soft again lately, but I have no changed the dogbone yet.
All these mounts are super soft as VW tries to manage NVH on such a small platform.
