I have a 2001 Jetta TDI with 225k the car seems to have been well maintained i bought it cheap but am hoping to remedy some tranny issues/prolong the life.
Symptoms:
Takes like 4 seconds to engage drive or a little bump on the gas pedal. once
engaged car takes off fine, the problem as a whole seems to be an inability to
stay locked into a gear without some torque being applied. the car shifts right/almost perfect when under moderate to heavy acceleration but under really light acceleration has a little hesitation between 2nd and 3rd. then when in Overdrive 50-60mph the cars RPM's flux up and down a little while going a steady speed, this doesnt happen at 70-80 or under any type of acceleration.
I changed the filter, and fluid with little or no difference.
Notes:
Reverse Engages Nice and strong no hesitation.
No metal in pan or filter at fluid change.
Once Drive is engaged, it stays firm and doesnt slip or anything at stop lights it pulls strong like a normal car would.
Autozone showed a Transmission Plausibility message?
Any Suggestions?
