I recommended checking fluid level in trans. first. If that's good try starting the vehicle and shifting from forward to reverse and giving it a couple seconds and either gear so that the trans can prime its self. Last resort drop the pan and put in a new filter and fluid.
If it is has an automatic trans, and it stalls when you put it in reverse or drive, it could be the idle air control valve. You would be able to speed up the engine with the gas pedal to keep the engine from stalling if this is the case. The computer should bump up the idle speed when the engine is under load by controlling the air going into the intake. If the engine stalls suddenly it could be the torque converter clutch.
safety switch on brake pedal. common cause is a wire breaking off. there are 1 to 2 wires going to this switch. It is located on the brake pedal bracket above the foot pad.
Jetta TDI manual from 1998 was always going with 5 gear speed and with hudraulic clutch. First off all make shure that you don't have any air in this hydraulic. After you are shure that pushing pedal is effective you may think about changing your clutch set. Depending what engine do you have 1Z,ALH or AFN there're diferent clucthes and prices
turn key on engine off mash gas pedal to the floor for 15 secs let off of pedal turn key off this resets tcm Tramission (control modual) unless you burmt somthing jumping it.check fuses.
those auto trans are tempermental sometime they get comfused when there is a running prob are more than one driver.try reset proceedure make sure correct fluid level. lots of info on TDI club.
Unless you have a check engine light on or other electrical warning for the transmission chances are the transmission is failing and needs an overhaul.
