2013 Hybrid rough transition from electric to engine

New here. Recently purchased my 2013 hybrid with 94k miles. I’ve noticed, when I begin my drive in the morning, as I’m accelerating out of a stop and it transitions from electric to the engine, it will be jerky and doesn’t sound healthy. From the little info I could find about it, it sounds like it may have been a pretty common issue? From what I’ve read, it seems like VW dealerships recommend a new transmission. Any ideas on a simple fix or is it really going to cost me a arm and leg?
