Default The Transmission....is it saying good bye already?

alrighty, so heres how it is, since the first time test drove this car, its done this..never thought much of it..
This happens with or without TC on, even does it with the VSS unhooked as in Tourque managment compleatly disabeld
So, i come to a stop, like at the track this summer, i get on the throttle..hit it kinda hard, the tires kinda break loose, but it feels like, and sounds like something is shockloading...it kinda bangs a few times/vibrates..sometimes the tires dont squawk after that, it still shifts excellent at all speeds..ATF is in great shape..last fluild change...there wasnt much clutch material in there..
Its done it a few other times..
but tonight i was going around a long corner, TC off, i floored it, BOTH tires broke loose and it did its thing around the corner..when it got going straight...still spinning...it did the shock load thing again, it almost feels like my tires are grabbing traction HARD then letting go..i know what shockload will do to it, i work in a heavy duty drivetrain shop.....trans makes no odd noises or anything, this is just what it does.soemtimes u can BARELY get it to chirp and it does this..
Any ideas?

Yes.. good description Matt..

That'* exactly what I felt when I drove your car. Something doesn't feel right. What is the question. Have you considered running it past a trans shop and having then test drive it?

Inspect your motor and trans mounts first.

S2 only has the torque axis mount. The rest are trans mounts. Good thought

Well, the problems cannot be due to the color

Matt, if you have only done the fluid and filter once, I would see maybe trying to flush the system and see what that does. It sounds like the TC is loosing / not geting enough fluid when it needs it. :?
