One common issue with the Volkswagen Golf's transmission is a faulty valve body. This can cause jerking or hesitation when shifting gears.

It could also be a problem with the transmission fluid. Be sure to check the fluid level and condition regularly.

I had a similar issue with my Golf and it turned out to be a worn out clutch. If these symptoms persist, it's best to take it to a mechanic for further inspection.
