What causes a Jetta to not shift correctly?
IIRC, the Jetta has bushings in the linkage which can go bad, causing it to not want to shift correctly. Could be it has just been slowly wearing out over time, with the worse it got, the more the issue became pronounced.
Are there transmission problems with the VW Jetta?
This is a common problem with the VW auto transmission. For the longest time, the dealer kept on saying that they could not replicate the problem. I was able to replicate the problem when I requested the service manager to ride with me, but all he said was for me to monitor it and wait for it to get worse.
When do you switch gears on a Jetta?
When I first got the car it would switch gears between 1 and 2 rpms but now it is going between 3 and 4 before it switches and it sounds like the car is working double time to go.
When did the bad shifting start on my VW?
The bad shifting started before the fluid change, and continues after the fluid change. VW Changed the fluid, they charged something like 40.00 a quart, so I hope it was the real stuff. The car has 130,000, the problem started slighlty, from time to time, perhaps 20,000 miles ago.
