jim,
many years ago, a very wise man told me, " Son, you probably
need to rebuild that transmission, but go over to Motor Bearings (friendly
local flaps) and buy a can of TransX, a transmission filter, and enough
fluid to change your fluid. If it doesn't work, the TransX folks will give
your money back." I did and drove that transmission (early 70's chyrsler/amc)
for 150k more miles, repeating the process every 30k miles. Cannot say
I have direct VW experience with your problem, but I still follow the man's
advise.
Good luck, drive well.

am new so please be kind. I have a 86 GL that I have recently purchased
from a friend. Only 193k on it. now the automatic trans will not
go into reverse when it is cold . Will go in all forward gears ok and reverse
when warmed up. the bently is usless . I figure it is trans
time but would like to know what is wrong before we do the transplant.
Any info or prayers would be appreciated.
