TED,
My 2002 MV EV transmission failed at 70K miles. It did hesitate and
slip a bit especially going up hills. It never made much noise
before going out, and was never difficult to put into gear. I think
that reverse was tough thou sometimes.
Catch now if you can. Apparently mine failed because the
tranmission fluid got burnt at some point. I was really pissed
especially since it was just a few thousand miles out of warranty.
It cost closet to $10K to get replaced and VW only gave me something
like $600 assistance.

Greetings friends,
If you have already experienced a failed transmission on your
Eurovan, what were the first few signs of failure?
Hesitating once in gear....like when you accelerate from a red
light?
The transmission won't go into gear?
It slips a little here and there as you are going down the road
(feeling bad)?
When you first get into the car and put it in Drive (or Reverse) it
won't catch for a few seconds?
Thanks for you input. I just want to know what to watch out for!
THANKS,
