If there is a better place to post this, please direct me. I have read so much on the web about these transmissions I'm surprised not to find a dedicated transmission forum.
The DSG transmission in my recently purchased previously owned 2006 Jetta "bumps" when shifting, starting from a complete stop.It clunks or bumps really hard on the first shift and as the car accelerates (moderately... not a hotrod launch) it clunks hard again.
It drives well on the highway at 65-70. I was going to just add fluid until I learned that my "automatic transmission" is really a gearbox with automatic clutches...
so I took it to the dealer for a diagnostic and the dealer report says "ran GFF - no faults found" and "Hard shift indicates clutch failures" and "Delayed shifts indicate faulty electronics," and "requiring transmission replacement."
BUT a clue for me ... when I shift manually in the "tiptronic" mode the shifts do not clunk or "bump."
In your best experienced opinions:
Do I need clutches or do I need a rebuilt "Mechatronic unit" or both?
Is there a chance it just needs the fluid topped off?
If I have experience with dry clutches, can I replace the wet clutches in this system or is it just too complex?
The fact that it works ok when manually shifted seems important....
Thanks for your experienced opinions !
