SOURCE: how to add trans fluid

Checking the transmission fluid in your Volkswagen isn't as simple as it used to be. To check the transmission fluid level requires your vehicle to be on a lift that it can be set level on. With the engine running and transmission warm, a plug has to be removed from the bottom of the transmission pan. This plug is at the base of a short stand-pipe (tube) inside the transmission oil pan. With the plug removed a small amount of oil should spill out (what is trapped in the stand-pipe) and if the fluid is at the correct it will continue to drip. If that is the case the transmission fluid is at the correct level. If all that comes out is what is trapped in the stand-pipe then the fluid level could be low. To add fluid to the transmission requires removal of the fill plug that is located on the front left upper corner by the oil pan. Oil is added at that point until oil starts running out or dripping from the stand-pipe. When replacing the fill plug you also need a replacement lock for the plug from Volkswagen. Many of today's vehicles are equipped with sealed transmissions that require specialized procedures, equipment and parts to check the transmission fluid level. Sorry for the bad or good news. This way just make sure that the person services the transmission to keep the warranty valid.

WHAT TRANSMISSION FLUID TO USE? FOR AUTOMATICS

Use dexron III mercon in that unit. I generally add lucas trans sealer and conditioner as well, because even when changing the fluid, you only are able to remove less than half of the actual amount that's in there.

Auto trans wont change gears speedometer jumps up and down

Have you checked the fluid level? if not do so with engine running in park and e brake pulled Also look at the fluid is it brown in color and smell sort of like onions? if it does it needs a filter and oil change. most cars require the filter and oil to be changed every 30,000 miles. Also add Lucas transmission additive so that it will soften the seals and clutches. If you want to do this yourself let me know and I can give you instructions, however it can be messy. the transmission will take 12 quarts of fluid dexron III and the lucas oil conditioner. Write back if you need more help and thanks for using fix ya.

Transmisson on a 3.8L automatic V6 Thunderbird problem.

Never add anything to an automatic trans but the correct fluid.
New fluid will make it slip worse
Lucas-is a waste of money and may ruin your trans.
You may get away with removing the valve body and cleaning it.
I would suggest a trans repair shop,but don't let them sell you on rebuilding yours until they try the valve body,unless the fluid is burn't,then your done, as you already should know

Jetta with automatic shifts gears but you have to let off the gas for it to shift?

This happens with old age and high mileage. If you haven't done so recently, change the filter and gasket. A transmission flush at the same time wouldn't be a bad idea. When you refill the trans add an additive like Lucas. I prefer Lucas because it does make a difference.
This is also an indication that at some time in the future you are going to have to look at serious repairs. Hope this helps.

Tranny is slipping

If the tranny is slipping and it's an automatic it's time to rebuild it or replace it with a rebuilt from a good tranny rebuilder with an exchange unit. That's about the only option you have here.
