Bought an 05 Passat tdi with 116k miles from the Osteen stealership here in Jacksonville, FL. 2 months later they want me to spend over $4k for a new transmission. Car went into limp mode and pulled codes p0811 excessive clutch slippage and p0743 4th gear incorrect ratio. The service manager told me there is no remans or used transmissions available and that I would have to by a new one. Does this sound right? Do I have any options here? I talked to transmission shop and they think it is an electrical issue and not internal. If it has become a common problem recently, should vw look into the cause?
