Sorry for that. There quite many things that could lead to Gear shifting problem. Let me hope your vehicle is Automatic transmission system. I would like to know the last time you serviced the your car, did the technician change the transmission fluid or not? If the transmission fluid has not been changed for a longtime, you need to consider changing that transmission fluid and observe the behavior of you car after that and ensure that the level is appropriate.
When draining or replacing fluid in a transmission, if it is an automatic there is always residual fluid in the torque converter. In most cases, you will put in a quart of the proper transmission fluid so you do not burn out the pump. Then you will want to check it and periodically ad until full on the dipstick when the engine is hot and in park or neutral. When changing the fluid, it is always a good idea to change the filter also. In most cases, you will need to drop the pan to do this. So make sure you get a new gasket and filter as this is a good idea Also. Do not run the engine without sufficient fluid to prime the hydraulic pump and the transmission. Then just add to the correct level. Please excuse any spellcheck errors due to this phone. I am sure you will get the point.
The oil that is in the cooling system may be Transmission fluid if you have an automatic transmission and the transmission cooler in internal to the radiator. Check your transmission oil for water contamination. If it is contaminated, you will probably have to rebuild the transmission and replace ALL of the transmission lines, and all rubber coolant hoses as the transmission fluid will eat the rubber hoses from the inside.
check the motor mounts. also check to make sure that its not miss firing. if its miss firing could be as simple as just needing a tune up. if engine light is on it is most likely misfiring and needs a tune up. if its jerking when you put it in gear this is a problem with the transmission. if its an automatic you may need to change the transmission fluid filter and gasket. if you can do this yourself it will run you about 40 bucks
you probably need to get your tranny fluid and filter changed,your filter is probably getting plugged up,get a tranny flush done at a garage or if you plan on doing it yourself,its a messy job.you need to get yourself one of those haynes repair manuals at an auto parts store or on ebay
If you have an 01M 4spd automatic transmission which uses VAG part # G
052 162 A2 ATF only. I'll suggest buy the seal and filter kit from VW
and uses 3.2qt when you replace the fluid. Topping off require a
different procedure. A VAG 1552 Scan tool is required when correcting the ATF level measured by reading temperature of the fluid.
