VW VR6 01m Transmission Repair - Part 3 of 4

[@PeteDunn154]

I've spent quite a bit of time with you lately! Haha, I have spent 4 months rebuilding my daughter-in-laws VW 01M Auto transmission. It has been 4 months of (intermittent) work and space taken up on my hoist. After all that and a couple of long days installing it back in her beetle the 01M has No forward drive! AHHHHHH! Reverse works fine. ATF pressure from port shows what I think is close to correct pressures, P=46psi cold, similar warm. Shifting to R flashed to 150/160 then settled at 65psi. N= 65psi D=53ps1, up to 120 at 3000rmp, #= 53psi, 2= 53psi, 2=53psi There is a slight tic of the pressure needle when shifted from 2-1 but nothing at all into Drive, 3 or 2. Couple of months ago I bought a ross-tech VCDS 3 Vin, and updated a couple of days ago, (with some foul language for a while) .I did a scan and it showed no trans codes, perhaps it just needs more running? I had no idea how much to screw in the Valve body springs on any that were adjustable, so that's why I tested the ATF line pressure. Thanks,, Pete

Smashing two beer vid. Ha the wallaby musket cleaner brush getting unstuck was a goer. Seen RICKAFIX doing this job on his beat up Tahoe and all he used was a toilet cleaning brush and a hammer. I like the way you do it , much better. The suspense is riveting . Awesome buddy.

Man I couldn't do that at the shop... the boss checking over my shoulder every 10 minutes wondering how it's going! The Yin & Yang glove combo was great... notice how things got dicy once the white only gloves were used! :)

+Thomas EXOVCDS I hadn't even noticed, but you're right! You should trademark them and add them to your online shop. Your retirement fund would be looking pretty sweet.

Is it possible to put a transmission from Golf-4 instead of the one from Golf-3 ???

[@JohnODonovan1]

You've inspired me to go ahead with mine. So how has it been driving now 5 months later?

[@Badgertronix]

that's fantastic! Car still runs great. Smoother shifts, nice and quiet. Feels 10 years younger

[@JohnODonovan1]

+Badgertronix thanks mate. kinda curious, and I'm sure I'm putting my foot in it but are you originally from England? I'm originally from Ireland myself. Anyway between your videos and Hiram Gutierrez ,I think I'm covered. my solenoid trouble codes are coming from N88 and N94.

[@Badgertronix]

You're bang on there, I am English. I don't have much of a Kiwi accent.... Take your time and you should be fine. I didn't edit out any mistakes to make it look easier than it was, so hopefully these vids are an honest depiction of what you are in for. More than one solenoid and it could well be the cable, but whilst you're in there you might as well make the most of it. Good luck and let me know if you have any questions

[@JohnODonovan1]

+Badgertronix Now you have me thinking with that cable comment. Not sure what you mean but I did remove that connection from the top of the Trans . Question is did that do anything even if I properly reattached it. So , what did I say to spark the cable thought?

[@Badgertronix]

+John 2 solenoids failing at the same time. The common link is the cable. Either way I'd change all the solenoids and the cable
