#36 of 214 '02 TDI Jetta Tranny/Clutch by deaner14 Apr 22, 2007 (1:34 pm)
I have about 134k miles on my Jetta. Recently, it started "lurching" when it was in gear but the clutch was fully depressed.   I took it to a non-VW tranny shop and they said it was the pilot bearing. My VW doesn't have a pilot bearing. Took it to another place and they said they pull it apart and see what's what. Got the diagnosis back and they had pulled the clutch/pressure plate and tried to turn the fly wheel (dual mass for those of you in the know). However, there was something wrong with the flywheel and it has a definite clunk sound when you flip it over in your hands. btw, I decided to go with a solid flywheel instead of the dual mass previously installed in the car. It's cheaper and less prone to failure in the future.   Now that the car's back together, it's shifting like there's no tomorrow: smooth as silk. The only thing I notice is there's a distinctive buzz when I pass 1800 rpm. It feels like you've run over a "keep-awake" strip on the highway. Car has to be moving... and has to be in gear.   I'm thinking my new flywheel is out of balance, the engine mounts weren't tightened to spec and/or ... well, that's why I'm posting. Anyone have any other thoughts or suggestions? The tranny man says he'll tear it apart again if need be, but we're both searching for answers.   Thanks

When I put the car into drive it will not go into gear unless i press the gas then it will kick in. It seams like it needs tranny oil or a transmission tune-up and filter replacemant. Has anyone experienced the same problem? There has to be someway to check the tranny fluid. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

My daughters 04 Jetta automatic won't shift out of park, the foot on brake symbol stays lit on the shifter console, and, the EPC light is on on the dashboard. Don't know if they are related, she didn't notice the EPC light before. Replies to this message: skippytcg (May 28, 2007 2:23 pm)

#40 of 214 Re: Has anyone heard of a clutch disintegrating on a Manual VW Jetta TDI 20 by nittany4 May 29, 2007 (12:42 pm)
Replying to: bcposi (Jan 10, 2007 3:05 pm) HI, unfortuanetly I share your pain. I have had the entire clutch replaced on my 2006 jetta 2.5, TWICE. First at 8000 and then 10000 miles. I am seeking an attorney and hopefully can get rid of this thing via the lemon law. I've been driving a manual transmission for 20 years, so although they tried to tell me this could be my fault, it clearly is not. It's a shame as I (used to) love VWs. This is my 4th one and thanks to two trips in a tow truck in 2 months, my last.

Replying to: cjs703 (Feb 05, 2007 4:22 pm) Well to follow up on my previous post in February, it turns out that the flywheel has moving parts, and has oil. The flywheel ended up leaking the oil on the clutch and destroyed it. So under warranty they replaced the flywheel and the clutch. I haven't had any problems since then (10,000 miles).
#42 of 214 07 VW wolfsburg jetta 2.5 by sdazzo213 Jun 16, 2007 (5:33 pm)
The car is an 07 VW Wolfsburg edition with a manual transmission. It has about 200 miles. I am new to driving a manual transmission but i feel like i picked it up pretty quickly and have confidence in the way i drive. I have driven with a couple of friends who also drive manual transmission and they told me i was doing just fine. Earlier today I was driving down a pretty steep hill doing about 40 in 3rd gear and all of a sudden i heard a noise. It sounded like something dropped. Initial I actually thought a tire blew out. As i continued down the hill the car produced a loud clanking noise about every revolution of the tire. I pulled it in to a parking lot. When I put the car in gear and depressed the clutch the clanking noise continued and the car would not go anywhere. I have no idea what happened and I am wondering if someone can help me out. I was not shifting or anything when the incident occurred. What happened to my car? Would this be covered under warranty? Could this be caused by the way I drive or did something just happen?   I would really appreciate some insight on this matter Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jun 16, 2007 6:00 pm) 600kgolfgt (Jul 20, 2007 5:46 pm) javyesco (May 22, 2009 1:34 pm)

#44 of 214 2000 Jetta 2.0 automatic by darkz Jun 29, 2007 (2:20 pm)
Whenever I drive my jetta, it feels like there's alot drag all the time and it slows down too fast after I release the gas (crappy mpg's). It takes about 15 seconds to get from 0-60 (sucks gettin in the freeway). The only time it coasts for a long time like a normal car is when I shift it to neutral when I'm up to speed. The atf fluid is level and I even checked the brakes, no binding there. What could it be. !!!Help!!!
