Torque converter

rockster -> Torque converter (3/26/2008 3:33:44 PM)
Does anyone know what the symptions are for a bad torque converter. I have a 98 Passat 1.8T with a tiptronic tranny. When the car heats up has a harsh upshift and downshift in first gear. Also when driving about 50 k/hour, and letting go of the gas... the gar jerks. It is quite annoying. Took it to 4 tranny places including dealer. There are no codes. The only answers i got were. Change the fluid, or change the torque converter, or change the valve body. Please Help..... Thanks

try a trans service first filter and fluid

fluid flush and filter is so much cheaper than any other option probably up $100 i would definately do that first then go from there. they recommend them at either 75k or 100k miles i'm not sure
