I just purchased a VW Beetle GLS 2.0L last week and it seems that the transmission may have some sticking solenoids in the valve body. There's a lag followed by a sudden kick into gear that only happens when shifting in the lower gears (1-3). It also hard shifts at times when the automatic...

Hey everyone, I got a big problem at hand and any advice would help a lot. Recently, the plastic carrier (part #1J0-711-256) broke on my girlfriend's 99 NB 5 speed and so I got a new one from the dealer for $40 bucks! -_- It was easy enough replacing it but when I did the car would be stuck in...

Hey all! I have been experiencing some gear shifting problems with my '03 convertible. It's an auto trans, but when it shifts gears (both up and down) it jerks to some degree, sometimes really noticeably and sometimes not so much. I'm hoping that maybe it's just the crappy gas I use sometimes; I...
