I put it off and just last week brought it to Aamco who investigated through Volkswagon and found out that the 98 Cabrio was a test for this transmission module which memorizes the driver.

At approximately 55,000 miles the manual transmission had to be replaced. The VW dealership would not offer any explanation as to which component had failed and as the warranty had expired at 50,000 miles she was on the hook for the $3000 repair bill. The car was never abused and maintained at the VW dealership as it was a lease vehicle.
When did I start having problems with my 1998 cabriolet?
In 2005 I started having problems shifing my 1998 Used Cabrio, I had to bring it to over 3,000 RPM’s and then back off the accelerator to shift to 2nd and over 4,000 back off to shift to 3rd. I brought it to a dealership (I hate the dealerships), they said that the transmission memorizes the driver and they reset the codes.
What does a VW Cabrio do when its cold?
I have a 2000 VW Cabrio with 60,000 miles on it and it does the same thing when the engine is cold. It’s the computer transmission fluid sensor malfunctioning. There’s nothing wrong with the transmission. Try warming up your car first. That seems to work.
