My 05 passat tdi no longer goes into reverse. My mechanic checked the fluid, it came out quite dark and he thinks the transmission is dead. (no codes as of yet)
I'm not sure what to do. A local shop quoted me $4000 for a rebuild.
That's more than I spent purchasing the wagon, deleting the balance shaft, fixing the ac, changing the timing belt and other things. Seems like a lot for a transmission I dislike.
I miss my 04 jetta's manual transmission.
I'd like opinions/suggestions to fix this issue. I live near Ottawa.
I'm thinking either a cheaper rebuild, a good used transmission or a swap. However, I don't know where or who can help me out with this. All help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
