My Golf 4 Does not automatically shift in to different gears when changing speed.
If have had this problem many times on Mk4 vw golf.
The transmission oil must be fully drained, frop the gearbox sump and replace the filter kit (widley available). Make sure everything is really clean, especially the oil pickup pipe and screen.
I generally measure the oil removed and refill the same amount. you must use the correct transmission oil....so check. I think its dextron3 or similar..but all stockists will have a listing for it.
There is no dipstick , the only way to test is using a scanner or trial and error ( i do not recommend the latter).
Chech vw forums for diagrams showing the drain plug on the sump...you never get all the oil out due to height of the neck and the fact that the torque convertor and oil coolers still have oil in them.
good luck

SOURCE: Automatic transmission won't shift into drive
Check automatic transmission fluid using dipstick, if fluid is low the automatic g/box tend not to shift properly. If the fluid level is fine you probably have an internal gearbox problem or a sensor problem (see a mechanic).
SOURCE: How do I repair the gear shift?
Locate where the shift cable linkage mount to trans, check for good tight attachment to ball socket, then have some one move shift lever through gears watch to see if cable moves shift arm BOTH directions if not replace cable
Testimonial: "Thanks! It is the cable and as soon as the parts store is open I can get a replacement. Happy holidays! Juliann Turner"
SOURCE: 94 Golf with automatic transmossion won't shift
TRANS HAS TEMP SENSOR IN PAN WIRING, IF TCM SEES HI TEMP, WILL HOLD TRANS OUT OF TOP GEAR. NEED SCAN TOOL TO CHECK TCM TRANS TEMP AGAINST TRUE OIL TEMP.
For
car not changing gears it can be shifter assembly issue, or it can also be
transmission issue. Get the shifter assembly inspected with ignition OFF.
