  • I swapped transmissions due to the solenoids being faulty. I will say this don"t try to rush and make sure that you are prepared for the job.

    Going to be doing this next weekend. Just trying to watch as many videos before I try. I’ve been hearing it may be linkage that is causing my car not to properly shift into 3rd and 4th I have to either be turning a corner or smash it into gear a few times for it to go

      Hey @Sonja Letourneau. I wanted to see how things went with your transmission Job. Is your car shifting properly or are you still having issues?

    Easy like just for the intro. Thinking about buying a Mk4 tdi but it can't shift into 5th.

    I took out my transmission the same way you did but now I have trouble putting it back in

      Hey @Crystal colon I hope you were able to reinstall your transmission. If you were able to view the entire video you'll notice I had difficulty with mine as well. The manual transmission seems to go back into place with less difficulty.

      @@crystalcolon3039 Yup, I know exactly what your talking about. Once I got the Transmission down for a second time. I realized there were prongs on the transmission that align with slots on the Torque Converter. That eliminated the gap and allowed me to get the bolts back in. I hope this helps.
