2009 A5 Shifting 'clunk'

Has anyone had issues with their auto transmissions becoming "clunky" when shifting? My 3.2 was fine for the first 2+ years but recently has become much rougher when shifting, especially from 2nd to...

I had a rear wheel bearing replaced last year by the dealer and it was $500 -- I can't imagine a front one would be *twice* the cost, that's crazy.

Have you found the Michelin's to be quieter than the Conti's? I find the Conti's seem to transmit a lot of road noise into the car, which is subpar for an $80k automobile.
