Golf IV / Jetta IV :: 2002 1.8t - Tiptronic Won't Go Into Any Gear
Jul 31, 2014
So last night I bought a rather nice low mileage tiptronic jetta for a good price that supposedly needs a new transmission (girl was quoted $5k to fix at a shop). The car starts right up and moves under it's own power...for about 2 minutes. I haven't actually driven the car but moved it forward and reverse a few times in the parking lot last night. Got out to look at something and when I got back in there was zero response from the tranny, any gear. Engine just revs. Seems a bit different than the usual slipping in gear or violent shifts these trannys are known for.

I have a question regarding my mk4 jetta. I plan on swapping my tiptronic transmission, which is beginning to fail (at least that's what I'm assuming the really hard upshift is indicating), to a standard manual transmission. The previous owner had it stage1+ tuned.

My transmission has been shifting funny lately in only a couple of the gears. it shifts into drive hard if not warmed up first, and shifts very slow from 2nd to 3rd, and 3rd to 4th. I do live in cold weather at the moment and all of these shifting problems go away of are less noticeable once my car has had time to warm up.

Diving along at 40mph, rpm's jump up so i let off the gas, get back in it and grabs for just a few seconds then acts like its in neutral. i put it in neutral and then back in drive. nothing, so i coast to the side of the road. get a tow back to my work. runs fine cel is on and all of the gears are lit up, as opposed to normally just the one your in lights up on the dash, reverse works normally and pulls well. Whats up with it.
Auto tiptronic, has no forward gears(acts like its in neutral). reverse works fine and pulls ok ...

So today I was driving my car and everything was fine. I get to a freeway off ramp. I put it in first and it goes like normal I shift from first to second and then into third when i shifted into third, I hear a grind sound like I miss shifted or something. I continue on and when I get to a red light I go to take off in first and nothing...The car wont move!! I have the clutch all the way out and its in gear and nothing... I can have the car running and the clutch out and i can shift it in any gear and nothing happens. I have a spec stage one and an 8lbs smf in the car and before i could hear clutch chatter and now when i have the clutch out I don't hear anything? What is causing this?

Drove my 02 VW golf GL to the airport, it sat there for 4 days, drove it back home. Next day I noticed that my 1st gear and reverse are very hard to get into. So I kept messing around with it and noticed that if I tried to put it slowly into first gear that there was no way in hell it would go, it felt like the gear was closed.
But if I put it into second gear and push it from second gear into first gear it goes back into first gear about 70% of the time. And it will also go into first gear if I push my stick down as if I'm attempting to go into reverse, and slowly move it into 1st gear.
The reverse is also very hard to get into it feels just like the 1st gear does when you try to do it slowly, it's like it's closed off/blocked. Latest work that was done to the car, replaced the clutch about 4-5 months ago.

I have a 2002 VW jetta 1.8t recently I've noticed that in 5th gear around 35-45 mph its losing acceleration. its a tiptronic so i can just downshift speed up a bit an o to 5th, however I don't want that to be the permanent fix, what this is or why its doing it?

My car will not leave first gear until the car reaches 60 x 100 revs 9 has heated up. After leaving first gear it shifts smoothly so I doubt its the transmission fluid, plus it's over 14 thousand miles and I was told not to change the fluid for the transmission. I think it could be a bad solenoid because when I bought the car the dealership wouldn't let me take it home until they installed a new one or else "it wouldn't leave first gear" if so witch solenoid would that be so I could replace it.

I have an '02 GTI VR6. It died on me on the freeway after surging then limping to a stop and wouldn't restart. I replaced my fuel pump 5 months ago and now I suspect that it has died again, but I want to be absolutely sure that the pump is the problem before I replace it again.
Last time the car would sometimes hesitate in 1st and 2nd for a couple weeks before the pump actually went bad. This time it seemed fine for 5 months then just went out.
The pump does not prime when I open the door. I checked fuse #28 and it's not blown, but there doesn't seem to be any power to it. I tested the power to the fuel pump connector. When I turn the key on I get ~12v for a split second then nothing. While cranking the engine I get ~9v constantly. I hooked a square 9v battery straight to the two outside connectors on the pump and nothing happened.
Can I be sure that the pump is the only problem? Obviously it's dead, but is there any reason for fuse 28 to not be getting power? And should the connector only be getting power for a split second when the ignition is turned on? I tried a different fuel pump relay with no change.

I purchased a 2002 gti in Febuary with 161k miles. I believe it was a couple weeks after I bought it - it started making this creaking sound. At first it was more rare to hear it but it occurred going on uneven surfaces like up a steep hill or around an uneven turn or even stopping and going. It basically happened when the front end pitched up/down. It sounds almost like a rubber creaking or even plastic. (Some sort of bushing maybe? I'm no expert) Now it is rare for it not to make the creaking when taking off or slowing to a stop. It only occurs at lower speeds like right when taking off or at the very end of the stop right before the actual stop.
It will even slightly make the noise when accelerating in second gear right after shifting. (This is occasional) When I come to a complete stop and turn the wheel side to side ot will make the sound for a couple of turns and then go away. I have tried rocking the car and pushing down on it to replicate the sound. No luck. I lubricated various bushings and parts with silicon. It seemed to fix it but it only lasted for a few hours. (This could've been coincidental) It doesn't make the sound 100% of the time though. Probably at least 90% though when coming to a stop and going. It seems as the environmental factors (Temp and humidity) have a small effect on the creaking. I have a neuspeed 25mm front swaybar with endlinks.

I have a 2009 Tiguan 4-Motion 6x Tiptronic.
I was trying to get some data looged using my VCDS cable. APR requires me to do a 1500 rpm rolling start in 3rd gear all the way to red line/fuel cutoff - WOT all the way.
I accordingly put the gear in Tiptronic mode and then try as I might, the second I mash the pedal @1500rpm, my Tiggy downshifts into 1st and cycles its way thru 2nd and 3rd @ around 6400rpm.
How do I do a WOT run while getting the Tiggy to HOLD 3rd gear all the way - no automatic downshifts and up-shifts?

I'm still trying to figure out the tiptronic trans. Sometimes it seems to have a mind of its own. One anomoly I've noticed fairly consistently is a "second" shift within 2nd gear. It happens a little above 2000rpm and it can be felt, heard and observed as a drop of several hundred rpm. It's as if the trans is shifting on its own, but its not since it remains in second gear until I upshift into third.

My 99 V6 with Tip just started to malfunction this past weekend. By malfunction, I mean when I shift over into Tip mode, the display remains on automatic and even shifting up and down will not change the tranny gear.
I was driving with the cruise on and shifted into Tip mode to slow down for a toll booth ( slow to 25 and not stop all the way). When I got through the booth, I hit resume on the cruise forgetting I had shifted into tip and the car revved back up to 65 mph in 3rd gear for about 5 seconds ( I had the stereo cranking and couldn't hear the engine)before I realized what I had done.
I tried to upshift in Tip but it wouldn't let me so I had to go back to full auto setting where it works fine.
Is it possible to burn out a fuse or circuit of some kind by doing a dipshizit maneuver like that? The car runs great otherwise and still is getting low to mid 20's mpg in spite of the ethanol crap.
BTW, just had the computer reflashed last week after putting a new battery in because the Throttle Body was not working properly.

Background facts:
Tranny swapped from my 4 speed auto to a 1.8t o2j 5spd
13lb. Light flywheel
Powerflex dogbone mounts
Peloquin LSD
The problem: Very hard to get a smooth shift from gear to gear. Trust me, I know how to drive, but I can always feel the car shifting into a different gear if you know what I'm saying. On my friend's bone stock Jetta, I just let the clutch out without gas in between shifts and you don't feel a thing.
On my car, you feel EVERYTHING. People have told me the light flywheel will make the ride more uncomfortable in many ways, especially since the RPMs drop much quicker in between shifts than stock.

I have the above referenced car with about 65k miles on it. Today I took it for a drive, switched it to tip-tronic manual and found that the car would not shift past 3rd gear. When I switched to automatic, the transmission stayed on tip-tronic (the display indicated I was on 3rd gear). I had to fully stop the car, place it on park and only then did the transmission switch to automatic.

I'm most likely picking up a 03 jetta glx vr6. Thing is the 6th gear is out. Is the entire transmission about to break or is it a common thing?

LLast night I was driving. I got off the highway and pulling on to the main road in 2nd, I ripped on it and went into 3rd quickly. It basically kicked it out of gear, and didn't seem like I had any other gear besides 1st or 2nd. Got to a local gas station in 2nd, and I originally thought my linkage had come off. While trying to back into a spot to make life easier, there was no reverse. seems like the trans is binding up. Aligned the linkage anyway, when the car is off, it goes into every gear, but when it is on, it feels like 1st-2nd-nothing. If I roll the car backwards and then forward, I have 1st. Other than that, it will not engage. If I put the trans in reverse and then try to back up, it feels like the trans is binding. Same with 1st, unless the car is running. Traction control light will not turn off either, will have it scanned this week to determine that issue...
Ive seen most people have issues with the 1st-2nd shift fork and have this causing the reverse issues.

The car was starting to have issues going into gear after a night of cruising. Then I was experiencing what I am thinking was clutch creep. The clutch would be down and in gear and the car wanted to slowly roll.
What I have done to try and fix it:
I have bled the system many times to get all the air out(i believe), and also readjusted the the linkage. NOW, the car will not go into gear when it is on but will when it is off. I have the car on stands at the moment and it will shift through all the gears when the car is on just the wheels spin since it is in the air.
The clutch/flywheel/pp/throw out bearing all have less then 2k miles on them. Tranny fluid has been replaced with Penzoil syncomesh. I have yet to ever do a hard launch.
Clutchmasters Fx400, OEM DMFW.
Car is an 02m trans w/o the black cap in the side so I cannot do the washer/gasket mod for clutch creep. Believe I have to order NLS shim kit and put behind the throw out bearing.

Over the past couple weeks sometimes when i turn my car on it wont rev above 3100 rpm in any gear. The car is a 5-speed jetta 8v 2.0 and I'm just looking for any insight as to what is causing this problem. My check engine light is on and i had the codes read and there was a bunch, "catalyst system below threshold bank 1", " ignition coil A,B,C,D circuit primary/secondary malfunction", and "camshaft position sensor "A" circuit high input". I'm not sure if these codes are related to the problem but i had to have the whole top end of my engine rebuilt not even a year ago and all of the ignition coils and sparkplugs were replaced during that time.
This problem does not occur every time i turn the car on however, i did notice that sometimes when i go to turn the car on instead of the car starting in quickly, it will start hard after sever cranks and this is usually when i have this issue. it is very weird almost like there is a rev limiter on and i can usually fix the problem if i get up to highway speeds and downshift hard into 3rd and the car will shudder once or twice and will drive like normal again. What could be wrong i was thinking it might be a bad O2 sensor or a vacuum leak somewhere.
Just to clarify what i mean by it wont rev past 3100 rpm i mean that i can start from idle and accelerate normally and when it gets to 3100 rpm the power goes away and will just stay there even i put my foot all the way down. I can shift up and the same thing will happen i will accelerate normally but then once i reach 3100 rpm again it will stay there.

Have a 20th with the 02m six speed ... Car won't go into any gear, except reverse ... Tried with the car off or on, clutch in and out with no luck ...
I took off the linkage from the engine bay and can only manually get the car to go into reverse ... Feels like it can't change "levels" ... Don't think it's clutch since because the car won't engage a gear even with the car off ...
Tried searching and no luck ... Thinking shift forks but hoping not since don't want to drop the transmission and it could be something else ...
