I have a 1997 VW Jetta GLS 2.0 Auto. The transmission in the car when I bought it was a code DLZ but the body label and the warranty book label reads CLK. The transmission when I bought the car would not shift into overdrive. It acted like it went from 3rd then into neutral also it would jump between 1st and 2nd so I had the transmission replaced. Its not new but its from a car with half the mileage of mine. My car has 138,000 and the transmission has 53,000 on it. The transmission that was installed is a DLZ also. It shifts fine but sometimes it shifts into 2nd at high rpms and sometimes it doesnt. I am not having any problems other than this with the transmission but I am concerned that I may have problems later on or may have another failure. A new transmission is 2,300.00 from the dealer and the transmission I had installed was about 1,500.00 installed and no warranty. What are your opinions on this situation and what would you do. Loking for advice. Thanks!!
