I have a 2002 TDI Jetta w/173K, auto trans. I have had the indicator light on for tens of thousands of miles and the tests indicate that the transmission is the culprit. What is curioius is that I may (on rare occasions) get a slight shudder when I accelerate BUT it occurs consistantly when the indicator light is OUT. I have checked the running gear, mounts, and cv joints and can say with certainty that it is coming from the transmission.
I know nothing of the auto trans's working but suspect that it may be some sort of valve or partially blocked fluid passage. The trans performs fine otherwise, is solid and shifts smoothly.
What baffles me is why the trans performs badly when the indicator light is off. I have had two mechanics look at it but the light was on and I could not duplicate the symptom at that time. Opinions please.
Thanks, Tom
