#141 of 214 Re: Need help with my 97 jetta transmission [rhtrans] by Derrick_76 Jan 24, 2009 (1:55 pm)
Replying to: rhtrans (Jan 24, 2009 8:29 am) Thanks for the reply. At first I thought it would be the clutch but all of the other gears work fine. The clutch is a old but it still feels pretty good. The shifter does stay in position in 5th and does not jump out into neutral. I looked at the linkage and everything still looks good and is not real sloppy. Do you think it is worth splitting the trany and looking in to see if the shaft is broke or the gear is out of position. I believe 5th is right there at the end. Do you know of any sites with good transmission breakdowns for the jetta? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 24, 2009 5:54 pm)

Replying to: Derrick_76 (Jan 24, 2009 1:55 pm) hard to say what's going on but if indeed your linkage is tight and adjusted properly and still no 5th gear, then 5th gear has somehow slipped off the shaft....maybe something backed off in the transmission---so you'll have to break it open. Is it worth it? Well, to R&R takes a pro mechanic about 5 hours (not including any overhaul). With overhauling it, probably 10 hours for a pro----and this doesn't include differential work.   I guess if the rest of the car is really nice, clean, good running, it might be worth doing, but if the car has other body/mechanical issues, you might do better to find another car rather than be spending serious money on this one. It's a toss-up IMO.

Code P0715 calls for input turbine/ speed sensor circuit malfunction, so where is this sensor located? Is it the G38, G68 or...? I will repair it myself after a $2200 repair with no luck, the car stays locked in 3rd gear (safe mode). Please somebody tell me where it is so that I can trace the wires, thanx.

#145 of 214 2001 Jetta Automatic transmission by 01BlueJetta Feb 12, 2009 (12:25 pm)
Very recently my transmission has had problems shifting into 1st gear. It will rev really high and then shift with a huge jerk & noise. If I hold in the brake while also pushing the gas the car will shift much easier. I took it to a shop today that was going to flush and fill, only to be told that car was not able to be flushed and I had to replace the entire transmission. Does this sound right?

Replying to: dancerman (Jan 07, 2009 2:26 pm) I am having the same problem with my 2002 Jetta (v6 automatic), it will not shift out of 1st until it is warmed up to 190 degrees. VW will not touch their own tranies and told me the same thing, remove & replace only, but they are not sure if that would fix the problem. How could the transmission only be bad when it's cold? They also told me it may be a faulty valve...but again they are just guessing as I am getting no fault codes. I have it at Aamco right now and they are telling me it’s not the transmission at all. They believe it’s the break light switch (which I just had replaced in Aug 08 when the transmission was slipping out of 3rd into neutral). The transmissions are reparable you just have to find someone who will do it...not VW. Replies to this message: jaeb (Oct 12, 2009 5:15 pm)
#147 of 214 02 VW JETTA 1.8T TRANSMISSION ISSUES by 1982bliax Feb 27, 2009 (9:01 pm)
My husband bought me a 02 VW jetta in 2006 , never had any issues until we had a recall postcard in summer 2008. Took it in for recall on break lights . No problem there, but after leaving the automotive shop it started shifting gears with a really hard jerk when you accelerate and when you are going into breaking it shifts gear really hard as well . I finally was scared of driving the car and took it into the Neillo VW dealer for a oil change, vehicle visual inspection, and an engine light check for diagnostics. After waiting two hours, the service associate comes to tell me what is wrong with the car with a bunch of vocabulary I didn't know and verbage on my vehicle stating bottom tubo tub installed wrong, not stock type turbo tube. Also, to replace ecm software??? and tcm codes on engine torque for solenoid #5. Dealer don't know if engine problem or transmission problem, charge me for this lost $1068.00 . I told the service associate I wanted to speak with a vehicle technician not a service associate. They explained only they do the talking. The service associate tells me to not drive the car, needs a trans diagnostic and recheck codes on trans, maybe code #10 solenoid and a 1598 pinout also: will cost another $2500.00. So I told them, just because I am a woman I don't know anything about cars...You just want money, I am not stupid..paid them..drove off...Driving out of the dealership was even worse. The shifts are more stronger and intense. What should I do before going back? Are they right? Or should I just buy a new transmission and install it myself???

#148 of 214 Re: Is 3000 RPM at 65 MPH steady cruise normal? [jmulla] by hanska Mar 01, 2009 (8:39 am)
Replying to: jmulla (Jan 26, 2007 8:10 pm) I have a 2003 Jetta and mine does that too, when i first got it about 2 years ago it didnt but after about 10-12 months the speedo started jumping around at 60 mph cruise control stopped working and my rpm's jumped up to 3000 at 60-65. I was told it had to do with a gear inside the transmittion, and it would cost about 1500 to fix at the cheapest.. i would love to know how to get it fixed or if that is normal...

#149 of 214 car alarm system is going crazy by hanska Mar 01, 2009 (8:51 am)
Last night i locked the door on my 2003 jetta and proceeded up my drive way when the alarm went off. I went back unlocked and relocked the doors, everything seemed to be fine when at 2 am this morning my alarm went off again. When i started down the driveway it shut off. and didnt start again. Today when i got in the car to go to the store my open door light began to ficker like a door was not shut all the way. so i checked all the doors and they were closed. I have no clue if one is related to the other but if anyone has any ideas im sure it would make my neighbors happy in the middle of the night.
#150 of 214 2003 VW Jetta VR6 transmission problems by rap6 Mar 07, 2009 (7:57 pm)
I have a vw 2003 VR6 triton auto transmission. I had problems with it shifting heard in first and second gear. I took to a shop, they said i needed to place a seinord. The shop didn't find any metal in the pan and the oil was clean that came out. Is this serious? will I have transmission problems later with the car. I currently have 84,000 miles on the car.
