WHEN DRIVING AND THE TRANS NEEDS TO SHIFT ON MY 2005 VW JETTA 2.5-5 NEW STYLE THE RPM'S REV UP BRIEFLY THEN THE TRANS WILL SHIFT THE SHIFTING IS SMOOTH BUT THE HIGH RPMS WORRY ME.

double posted same car same problem but this time a new Key clue.
what do you mean out of 4th gear.
learn the tell a drivers evidence hear,
PRNDL123,can';t move the LEVER here
or the auto trans (none told or engine or country told)
the A/t fails to up shift 3 to 4, in Drive,?
or trans is stuck in 4th drive. no matter what I do, even in Reverse I get 4th gear forward?

1: check all fuses first./
2: scan the PCM and report all DTC errors and skip none set.


shifting out of 4th gear

what does that mean, I am clueless. 4>3 down shifts fail?

if it 4l60e it shift on it on the computer control it to shift the trans is bad slipping or not shifting

You can try some tranX in it. This stuff works great. Also there is a shift adjustment in the cable. Sounds like a sticking valve though.

Transmission solenoid needs replacement.

VW Automatic transmissions must be filled within a specific level or they will not shift. Also, must have VW special transmission fluid or ATF +4 FULL SYNTHETIC!!! Required to create proper internal pressure...

The tranny's are notorious for having "small" problems before they actually let go. However, there is a sensor on the transmission that tells it when to shift as well as a couple of air and cooling sensors. Try having those tested/changed and see if that helps. If not, you may be looking at a new transmission

Sorry to inform you that it sounds like your transmission needs servicing.
Check the fluid levels and replenish if level is down.
If after doing this,the car still wont shift properly or smoothly,,then you will have to take the car into a transmission mechanic.

I'm no expert but it sounds as if you might have some moisture (water) contaminating your tranny fluid. I'd first try having it drained, flushed and refilled with fresh fluid. Preferably after it has been warmed to room temperature - -2 brrr. 

Your right in as much as it shouldnt need complete over haul but a competent auto trans technician to clear the shift fault.It could be a solenoid or check valve that should be able to be repaired with out the transmission having to be removed.
