Hello there,

I had Aamco flush and change the transmission fluid, but I am still
getting a several second delay when I put it into reverse. I have to
give it some gas (rev it) to get it to "catch" and go into gear. The
other gears work fine (well, Drive, I guess is the only other gear I
use) and there are no shifting problems or hesitations or clunks on
the road.

When I first get into the car in the morning, it shifts into reverse
faster (less of a delay) than when the car is warmed up.

What can I do? Is it dead, Jim? Did Aamco put enough fluid in? Did
they use the correct fluid (Valvoline Max Life Synthetic)?

Will that magic, star-shaped transmission adjustment screw fix my
problem?

I am poor and out of anwers. Have a nice day!

The line pressure adjustment has certainly bought me some time.

My R and D shifts weren't super slow when I did the adjustment, but
were still noticeably faster afterwards.

Thanks Jeff. If it can buy me some time, it's worth a shot.

I have been having the same issue on my 01MV. I know I have a slight leak from the pan
gasket, so I assume fluid level is down. Just got parts to do change in mail today (from
europarts-sd.com) and plan to do change and adjust pressure screw this weekend. I will let
you know how I make out.

Hi Ted

As I wrote last week, I was having same reverse issue. Thinking it may be low ATF, as
there was a leak, and I have had other non-VW trannys get slow shifting when fluid was
down...I ordered parts and did filter and ATF change. I know it was done right, and right
materials were used, but the slow reverse engagement problem is still there,

I have no idea if AAmco did your job right, but don't use the fact that the reverse issue
remains be your indicator that they messed up.

Now I gotta figure out where to go from here.
