  1. Styling Modifications
    First-time poster here :) I would like to replace the old shift boot and knob in my 5-speed manual 2002 Beetle. I found this really sleek looking set online when googling "yellow beetle shift knob" (I want it to match the yellow theme of my double yellow color-concept model) However, it says...
  2. Transmission Talk
    Did I make a huge mistake getting the 2014 5-cyl automatic? The transmission shifts prematurely into upper gears, according to the mechanic, an attempt to comply with the CAFE standards for gas mileage. Frequently, I'm stuck in 5th or 6th with rpm under 800 and the engine languishing. I have...

    I have a manual beetle. It is a 98 diesel. I have noticed the shifting going down to 1st and 2nd a little sticky. Yesterday it stopped downshifting all together.

    I've recently acquired a 2001 and it has some interesting transmission problems I'm hoping someone else has run into. 1) When cold it shifts normally 2) Once warmed up it is prone to shifting failures - longer than normal slides between shifts - failure to fully engage 4th gear -...

    My automatic 99 shifts extremely hard, pretty much into every gear. When it shifts, it ranges from a little lag to a full out jolt of the car. It worries me...my car is my baby and I'm really hoping it's not anything too serious. Have any of you ever experienced this? Does anyone know the...

    Changed the pre-cat O2 sensor a week ago. No hesitation since! This has been bothering me for years!
