Okay. So a few reasons why I think the trans or could possibly be a mech unit but a mech unit would be just as much as a used trans. Reasons: when I’m coming to a stop sometimes it will shutter when it comes to a stop or won’t “disengage” and I have to shift into neutral. The car is really bad about downshifting say I’m going around a windy road and it’s like when you’re driving a manual and just don’t want to downshift and leave it in a high gear but then once you press the gas pedal down far enough it will often aggressively shift down 2 gears. (It’s almost like an inexperienced manual car driver is driving) You can also hear the mech unit (I assume) when downshifting, it’s been doing that awhile but it getting louder. Idk if there’s anything I can do about the trans shifting issues. I know there was a recall about replacing the mech unit but my car was “outside the VINs” even though it was experiencing all the issues listed in the recall
It needs a flywheel too so I have to put that in and isn’t a new m unit a dealer install only?
Ohhh okay. I noticed the shifting issue seemed to get worse after I had the “diseelgate” fix done. Before I was having other issues with it as I’m going down a hill and when it would shift, it would aggressively bang into the next gear but after the dieselgate fix that issue went away and on came the “inexperienced driver” shifting type stuff. So removing the trans isn’t that big of a deal? Do I need ti remove the crossmember?
Okay. I do have access to ERWIN and a VW OE scan tool so I will try the basic settings thing tomorrow hopefully
Okay. Could the shifting maybe have to do with the throttle position? How do you reset the throttle position or adaption if that makes sense
