i have a 2002 vw jetta tdi, the transmission has been giving me trouble for a while now and i'll post problems and what i have done so far.....I heard a pop when slowing down one day, so i changed the diff, because of alot of play and also tore tranny apart and found the needle bearing in the planitary set was broke and took ot the planitairy gear....I replased that full set with a used one from a local tranny shop for a good price, after that the transmission ran great but then it started losing just drive put it in third and car would shift perfect. then if you shut car off and restarted it it would return to driving normal....so i went and bought a reman valve body with all the new updates and bigger valve( my old vb had been damaged do to metal getting into it...now to get to finail problem....i put the car in to drive nothing but put it into 3ed and back to drive will have drive for a few sec and when it goes to shift car goes to nutreal but if i put the shifter inbetween 3 and 4th so 4th shows on dash but 3ed shows on shifter car runs like there is no problems at all....i do have vag-com and no codes show...the only thing i havent changed is the brass cable for transmission but not sure that is the problem any help would be nice...this is my first post and been an aviad reader of post...
