Hello all ...
My daughter's '95 A3 Jetta's automatic transmission has been acting up recently. If you put it in "D" it seems to slip through first and into second. You can manually shift through the gears without a problem.
I had it put on the vag-com last week-end and there weren't any codes. I took it to my mechanic of 20 years and he test drove it and pulled the codes. It's throwing codes for the #1,3 & 5 selenoid, but the selenoids are working correctly. The transmission was overhauled by him when I bought the car: new valve body, selenoids, wiring harness and TCM. The clutches were like new and all fluid was replaced with the VW stuff.
The radio loses power from time to time. I saw on-line that somebody was experiencing similiar problems and it turned out to be a problem with a wire that was spliced into the 24-pin wiring harness that attaches into the instrument cluster.
Has anybody dealt with any issues like this before? Is there a wire, sensor, etc. that's prone to messing up the transmission shifting?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
