I have an 05 Passat wagon with the gmr automatic transmission. It has an Eriksson torque converter and recently it's been having a pulsating vibration on acceleration. To me, it felt like an issue in the transmission, so o checked the fluid level, and then did a transmission flush. The fluid was dark, and I could tell it needed to be flushed but it made no difference in how the acceleration felt. There were no codes in either the ecm or TCM, the cylinder contribution is very close together (less than .50 between the highest and lowest cylinder)
It does the vibration in any gear on heavy lugging type acceleration.
Doing research, I found a lot of threads with similar issues saying that it was the CV axles, but I am not one to want to throw parts at an issue, and so I turn to you guys. What tests can I do to verify it's not the transmission slipping (like it kinda feels like) and is the axles?
Thanks!
