Re: How to Reset Automatic Transmission (13minutes)

I tried the "sport mode" hack and didn't notice any different. I have a drive-by-cable, not drive-by-wire - does this make a difference? also must i start it instantly after releasing the gas pedal?

The above is the alternate procedure to perform the transmission adaptation (synchronize to the throttle body) without Vag-Com. Now if you want to engage Sport mode on a Mk IV: Ignition on (not engine) Depress the gas pedal TWICE to activate the kickdown switch Release the gas pedal and Immediately start the car Notice how it shifts different?

just wondering, what would happen after driving around after doing the sport mode, and you shut off the car, then start it up again? would it be still in sport mode or would it reset back to normal?

Will the sport selection (twice down) have any effect on a tiptronic?

Re: (PBWB)

the best way to play with tranny is to recode transmission with vag-com.look at my thread.

Re: (blackshoeshine)

I did the "tap twice" step with our '00 VR6 Jetta 4spd, and all I can say is, "THANK YOU!" to those who figured this out!
The car FINALLY works like I expeted it to, when we got it 5 years ago!

Re: How to Reset Automatic Transmission (T99inFL)

Now, if I put my car into "sport" mode, and want to change it back to "Ecconomy" or "Normal" mode, how would I do that??
Just asking in case I have to make another 5 hour road trip and don't want to waste gas.
Thanx all.

Re: How to Reset Automatic Transmission (Deadman)

I think VW has complicated things. I've seen many cars (OLDER cars too) with the basic, Econo and Power mode (or Normal or Power Mode) switches. Why didn't they just do that??? All this programming with Adaptive tranny etc... what a nightmare. AND they don't tell you about it in the manual. There are times i was to drive slow, it should be just a flick of a button.

95 Golf 2.0 4dr. i've been having this transmission problem which when i accerate to 3000rpm, it jumps to 4000. i tried the method it seems work~ i tried the sport mode, cant' tell if it kicks. going to have the golf checked tomorrow. first VW car. looking forward~

All I can say is THANK YOU SO MUCH! Everyone with a MKIV Auto needs to know about this. Pushing the throttle 2 times didnt do anything, but the 20 seconds did. I didn't know my 2.0 could even go like that! Thank you so much, that has put a massive smile on my face.

Re: How to Reset Automatic Transmission (GTI_PAT)

I did this procedure on my '03 Tip. I use tip 99% of the time.
Am I imagining better faster smoother shifts ? (20 sec reset)

 

[Thaya]

I wonder the 20sec would work on my 2000 golf turbo?

 

[radlynx]

i will try this too and see what happens.

Transmission shift re-set

Question:

Does this proceedure also apply to a 1999 passat 1.8t, with tiptronic trans :
Does the 99 passat have the MK4 trans ?

Thanks

reset

I just did this on my 05 Jetta TDI which has been shifting odd since I bought from my sister. She never had a problem so hopefully this takes care of the "missed" shifts, slamming into gear, coming out of OD at 76mph, etc. No codes either!! I will find out on the drive home!
