🤿 Passat B5 Automatic Transmission Problems

1999 Volkswagen Passat 4-door. 6-cylinder automatic 2WD. 82000 mi. Automatic transmission hesitating during upshift and banging into gear during downshift. Automatic transmission replaced under 10yr/100K warranty. Tech found transmission fluid burnt and black. 87000 mi. 2004 Passat TDI. * Engine type: BHW. * Transmission: GMR (5 speed automatic/triptronic ) never changed tranny fluid. *241K Miles. I am the original owner. Car was in mechanical good shape, Recently (over the last year) had new tires, brakes and calipers, and most recently all new tie-rods and new right trans-axle (CV) The torque converter now stays locked all of the time, but I have not driven more than 45 minutes at a time (at warm temps too). The engagement is also much stronger as it locks and the rpm drop quickly. There is some minor flaring under hard throttle, but no more than 200 rpm. It had been 400-500 rpm at it's worst. No. IMHO, at 200,000 miles, if you're going to have the transmission out, it should be completely rebuilt. That means clutches, bands, seals, etc. Probably a new torque converter while you're at it. If you were doing the work yourself, to solve a problem, you might consider just repairing a problem in the valve body. Otherwise not. First, using 92 octane fuel isn't going to cause any problems, as the label on your '99 fuel filler door states 87 regular as the minimum. Next, never rev up an engine when the automatic transmission is malfunctioning. It may suddenly engage and break something or lurch the car dangerously. Automatic transmission dont shift when warm. I have just parchased my Passat 1.8T triptronic with 102 k. replacing the turbo. The problem is: When the engine is cold, the transmission shift normally without any problems. When the engine starts to heat , say 20 to 30 minutes in transit, the shifts starting to be more difficult, where sometimes It's incomplete, but goes through a good bit and gives an idea of scope. Thought I’d document a manual swap on the 1.8T for the B5/B5.5 folks. This pertains specifically to the B5.5, but the B5 and V6 is similar. I couldn’t have undertaken this project without the help of the many resources in the Audi Forums below. I was told from a VW mechanic that are particular model of Passat(1.8L Turbo Automatic) has a sealed transmission case. Being the reason there is no dipstick for checking the transmission and actually nowhere to fill transmission fluid either. Other then a small over flow valve om transmissions ass end. Transmission fluid will drain out of the fill plug if the fluid is cold and the engine not running. So, adding the two amounts together your not far off. As Tom mentioned, follow the link to the fluid replacement. I did this very recently, filter and Valvoline Maxlife fluid from pepboys. under $100. Nov 16, 2011. #2. Suspend the engine/trans from above. Lower the subframe and let it hang on the 4 lower control arms (remove the lower strut attachment bolts). Remove starter to access torque conv. bolts. Remove axles, side mount brackets, gear selector cable, VSS plug, valve body plug. Misfire causes include a bad ignition coil, ignition wire, or spark plug. Overall, these were the fourth most common problem reported by 138 VW Passat owners. Model years experiencing this problem included 1998 through 2000, 2002 through 2010, and 2013. On average, this problem happened at 88,873 miles.
