After warm up the transmission in my 2003 Jetta Wagon will fall out of gear when coming to a complete stop. When rpm's are picked back up it engages again. Of course this is not smooth and you must feather the throttle as to not let is neutral drop and slam in hard. It has also fallen out of gear while underway at higher speeds if left to coast unaccelerated for a exeteded period.
Car has 213,000 miles. The trans oil and filter had just been changed aprox 5,000 miles ago by local repair shop.
I want to attempt to repair myself and looking for some advice, direction, and options. First is I think I like the automatic option and don't really want to shift this thing. So I am not intrested in converting to manual transmission. To repair I am going to need service literature on the 01M any one know of PDF download or willing to share book. 2nd option can newer triptronic be substituted for this unit? And if so what all would I have to replace? Thanks for any advice. Jim in New Buffalo South West Michigan
