dont need a re-set, but thing is the clutch plates are worn and you was lucky it wont last long the sensor on the conductor plate picks up the speed they spin if they slip that speed comes up as a turbine code ,the same code as when you found the problem

I think you’re correct. I tried this repair but the transmission slipped again after a few weeks. So I replaced it with a used transmission. Now the car is on its third transmission :(

Hello, I’m moving to Yamagata from Boston next year. I’m hard headed and determined to bring my car. You’re totally right about the culture… it’s almost unheard of for people to fix their own car. I have a 2000 VW Jetta VR6… it’s supercharged. It’s not excessively loud, but it’s not exactly quiet. I heard your car having some engine noise… or music as I like to call it. Did they give you a hard time about that?
@diyforlife2809 5 ай бұрын
Hey Karl, Good luck bringing your car to Japan, I've heard it's a very difficult process. You can find great condition 20 year old European cars in Japan. But, I do regret not bringing my Porsche 964 when I moved here 13 years ago, as prices are crazy high now. Unfortunately I didn't try because I was told that to ship and get everything to conform to Japanese regulations is not worth the effort. The Boxster had the stock exhaust system and wasn't very loud. I had a Mazda Roadster (NB Miata) previously which had an aftermarket large rear muffler. It wasn't a problem at the inspection, but they will look carefully at any modifications during the shaken test.

Have you done glycol test? I suspect coolant contamination into the trans fluid through the trans fluid cooler in the radiator.
@brown911 5 ай бұрын
That’s a good thought. I wondered about that as well since I’m on my third transmission. What’s the best way to check ?
@CamronLocke 5 ай бұрын
@@brown911 I hear an easy way to test is to take a sample of fluid, put it on a hot plate, and see how the fluid reacts to high heat. If contaminated with coolant, it will start to spit and boil and make popping/sizzling sounds. If not contaminated, it will just start to smoke and eventually burn. But I recommend buying a glycol atf test kit, or buying some glycol test strips. The hotplate method isnt foolproof and if its a small leak it might only be detectable through a test kit. Solution is a new radiator. Some people just add an external trans cooler, where it will never meet engine coolant. This issue affected MANY early w211's, but I have not heard of many coolant contamination issues on the w210's, but it is still possible and worth ruling out.
