My 1998 Jetta (VR6) is having shifting problems, it's an automatic and when i put it in drive it takes a few seconds for it to go in gear, and as i drive it jumps up in RPM's about every 10 seconds. It one jumps about 200RPM's. It also slips out of gear somtimes as im driving for a few seconds then it go back in. I have put a new trans computer and a multi function switch and neither one helped. What can i do next??? Thanks Matt

1.1 mm is the standard gap for a platinum tipped plug. Plugs for this car usually come pre-set but it's always worth checking before installing. Hope this helps.

there is a relay for the transmisson under the dash that controls the shifter, found out alittle about relays, there are some cheap ones on the net!

VW Automatic transmissions must be filled within a specific level or they will not shift. Also, must have VW special transmission fluid or ATF +4 FULL SYNTHETIC!!! Required to create proper internal pressure...
