I have a 2002 volkswagon jetta gls 1.8t with automatic and manual transmission. when i am accelerating, i am neutralizing in 3rd and 5th gear, sometimes even 4th. my car revs and doesn't want to go at the speed it's suppose to be. i have to accelerate very slowly for my car to catch it's gears. what is the problem and what would it cost me to fix it?

Assuming it is an automatic. With engine idling, put transmission thru all gears, put back in park, keep engine running, check dipstick for tranny. If it is a manual then you have to crawl under car and remove upper "fill" plug on gearbox, fluid will be up to that level. NOTE: unless your tranny leaks it should never be low!
