NO REVERSE ON 2001 JETTA

  

roman_85 -> NO REVERSE ON 2001 JETTA (2/17/2007 11:34:37 AM)

I HAVE A 2001 JETTA WITH A/T THAT WON'T GO INTO REVERSE.
IT WILL DRIVE FORWARD AND SHIFT SMOOTHLY, BUT WHET I SHIFT IT INTO REVERSE IT WONT DO A DAM THING.  IT FEELS LIKE THE NEUTRAL GEAR, IT WON'T EVEN TRY.

ANY COMMENTS/SUGGESTIONS??

get a new transmission


sometimes just getting a transmission flush will do the trick for a while

how many miles are on it? supposed to get tranny flushes every 100,000 miles

I don''t have reverse either, but I was a dumbass and wrecked it.  Most VW have a self-adjusting cable so you either can''t adjust it, or are not required to.  Flushes do make a difference but won''t put the metal back into a grinded gear, I know that one.  VW trannys don''t have synchros incorporated into the reverse like other trannys.  They use a separate, independent reverse gear that you can R&I, but costs alot.  I been dealing with this for a year and it sux, but can never find noone that can give me a straight forward answer on what the fix is so I''m not gonna dump money on a mechanic who doesn''t fix my car.
