Transmission solenoid 2002 gti 1.8t ..automatic.transmission rebuilt. Runs fine one day, then the next it won't shift out of 1st gear. We've started it in second and shifted as we went along, popping it back into drive. After a little while it runs fine. What's your suggestion? Not looking to sink a ton of money into this again.

Hi ,
I have a 2002 hetta and i had same problem. The problem is with the N92 selenoid. My machanic changed it last week and now everything is normal.

SOURCE: Transmission won't shift fron 1st, 2nd or 3rd correctly!

I'm no expert but it sounds as if you might have some moisture (water) contaminating your tranny fluid. I'd first try having it drained, flushed and refilled with fresh fluid. Preferably after it has been warmed to room temperature - -2 brrr.

SOURCE: Where is transmission solenoid located on 1995 vw jetta !!!!

need to know if a 1995 jetta vr6 automatic transmission has to be set by a computer when re installing. also do you need a computer when adding trans fluid. what type of trans fluid do i put in an automatic jetta vr6 trans.
This trans slips and does not go int gear. It goes forward in all gears including when in neutral and reverse.

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).
