2003 Jetta 2.0 auto Slamming into 2nd and 3rd.

Steve Karlson 28 February 2005 04:45:17
 38k and it does this intermittantly, mostly when cold.
I know about the delay going into gear when car is cold BTW.

When this happens it will scare the life out of ya!!

Sent it to dealer and they kept it for 2 days to verify problem (they
did!) and said they "reset tranny to original factory specs". The first
time it didn't work so they did it a "different way" and this time it took.

I got car back and it is shifting fine.

Any comments on the various ways of resetting the tranny?
BTW there were no codes logged, but the service manager did verify the
problem and honestly I was very impressed with the dealership going out of
it's way to verify and fix the problem.

Comments?

 I bet it will happen again! doing "reset tranny to original factory specs"
doesn't fix issues like you have... at least I never known it to. Good new
is it's still under warranty.

 Wow, I thought it was only my car. I have 2003 Passat GLX with
tiptronic trans and it gives me exactly the same problem - only when
starting from cold. My dealer in PA fixed it, but it was only a
temporary fix, it worked only for a few months. I moved recently to
FL and tried to fix this problem in two local VW dealers (Bradenton
and Clearwater) without any luck. Can someone please let me know
exactly how to tell my deaer to fix it? I already gave up on it and
thanks to you got my hope back.
Thank you
Mark
