I suggest Trans Go shift kit and replacing or rebuilding solenoids. I just did my 2007 Jetta and it fixed all the issues. It got rid of hard bump and sticking between gears slowing down

[@wizbang16]

I have a 2005 VW Beetle with the 09G. It does not have a cooler/heat exchanger on top of the trans. Also I don't see any coolant lines running to or from the trans. How does the fluid get cooled?

[@mikeydrake4894]

Hey thanks for putting the video together. If you could illustrate grinding of the ends I think that would help. Also can you describe the symptoms that this repair helps fix? And are there other transmission units that you fixed with a similar kit that you would recommend doing the same thing on?

[@saneauto]

Way too many symptoms to list. If it's been driven with these problems too long the clutches could already be burnt. If you suspect that, then watch my other videos on removing, disassemble video, reassemble video etc. Its all hear on my channel. Most other units the solenoids are affordable to purchase so just buy them and replace during the build. I also have a video on doing the valve body.

[@anthony6972]

This for the video! Is Valvoline maxlife a good fluid for the 09G? Or should I stick with OEM?

[@hikedayley9309]

Would it be better to use Max Air Flow on those Solenoids instead of Brake Cleaner?

[@johnhealy2001]

Excellent video, can't fault it any idea on what kit I will need for Citroën c6 2.7 HDI 6 speed auto thanks john

[@madetg]

Is there any where I can buy an already upgraded valve body ??

[@saneauto]

This is the only one I found that doesn't have a bunch of bad reviews. amzn.to/3VJbNFG The seller doesn't say weather its updated though I would message them and ask if it has any updates and what updates they did. If they cant tell you any specifics I wouldn't buy it.

[@mercuris]

does it improve the shift speed? or do any kit does that?

[@living9377]

Why do this as opposed to installing new solenoids? I understand some folks can’t get parts but other than that what other benefits of doing this instead?

[@saneauto]

Have you checked the price on these solenoids?

[@living9377]

@@saneauto Wolfsburg tuning has a set for $118. It’s not oem but cheap enough for plug and play installation. What you do is awesome work and requires skill and precision. These parts look fragile enough where any minor mistake could toast your tranny.

[@strawmanmark6735]

My replacement solenoids all have black connectors - no yellow, so how can I tell which ones should replace the yellow ones? They all appear identical from the outside. The numbers on the casting and caps didn't give me any clues. I put them in as best I could figure they went but my shift problem persists. Any suggestions??? Thank you!

[@strawmanmark6735]

I cleaned my old ones and checked resistance. They all checked out at 6.5 ohms and the valves all move so I know none are sticking now. Should I just return these to their original locations and try again, or is it time to try something else. The problem is the shifts from 4 5 and 6 gears. 1 to 3 work fine. I bought the car like this and suspect the previous owner might have driven it like this for a while.

[@extremepctech]

would this be the same for the 2006 beetle 1.9 DSG?

[@saneauto]

No thats a later model Transmission. Here is the VW DSG Valve body kit -- amzn.to/3P21437 & VW DSG Reman Soleniods -- amzn.to/3SfuUDJ

[@wadeyarbrough4263]

I've read that you have to reset the TCM/adaptation after doing any tranny work, is that true? Is there a way to do it without the VAG-COM tool? I have an '06 Jetta 2.5 with the O9G automatic 6-speed. I'm replacing the shift solenoids and was wondering if what I read online is true for that car.

[@saneauto]

Its having the battery disconnected that sometimes causes the TCM to revert back to factory settings. You also lose all your radio presets and trip data etc. You can use this to keep the memory alive while working on the car with the battery disconnected or the ground wire disconnected. Its a very affordable tool -- amzn.to/317kP0l

[@gregroles69]

@@saneauto for future reference, in a T5 transporter, and most likely most other cars with this auto, you: 1. Turn ignition to ON (do not start engine) 2. Press the gas pedal to the floor till it clicks 3. Hold the pedal for 15 seconds 4. Release pedal gently 5. Turn Key to Off 6. Start engine and drive as normal by resetting the TCM, it will re-adapt to your driving style. I do this often when box has learnt bad habits from another driver etc, it is always learning apparently. Don't be gentle on it during the first drive if you want a responsive box!

[@Aj-tb5vm]

Is it possible that the armature csn get damaged by grdining to much? I don't think I can get a perfect ring like you did?

[@saneauto]

Glad to hear your trying to be careful. Try practicing on some old pieces of plumbing pipe. or buy a length of PVC cut it into 4-inch pieces and practice on 10 or 12 of them. When you feel confident go for it. It doesnt have to be so perfect you end up with the ring like me I've just had a lot of practice over the years,

[@Aj-tb5vm]

saneauto nice. So I'm having a hard shift into 4th from 3rd after 20 mins only when i drive in city. Highway is perfectly normal. Do I still have to test My solenoids? I don't wanna do all,this then have bad ones? Thanks

[@saneauto]

I always test them first so I dont waste time with a bad one.

[@Aj-tb5vm]

I'm having a hard time on how to test them video didn't show which wires, and I don't wanna have a false positive saying a bad wire is good you know. Maybe u could email me [e-mail]

[@saneauto]

Watch the vid closely. There are only two prongs on each solenoid. I touch one prong to the positive lead on the meter the other lead to the solenoid case to check for a shorted solenoid. then test the other solenoid pin. then one lead to each solenoid prong to check for an 'open' in the solenoid coil. I will make a separate video on this soon because the procedure is the same for all makes and models. Thank you for the video Idea.

[@donfavro1944]

Would you still go through all this when you can get a rebuilt solenoid kit delivered from ebay for $110?

[@jjsiegal1]

The issue also is, CAN YOU CHANGE Solenoids without dropping the Valve Body?

[@saneauto]

No you cannot change without dropping the solenoids.

[@saneauto]

Yes I would still do it myself but thats because I have been building for 25+ years. If I had one or 2 years of experiance I might just buy them in hopes that the people i purchased them from had more experiance.

[@musclecarappraisal]

[@赖才政]

bravo bro! save me big time, would you please tell us the size of the drill bit?

[@jjsiegal1]

Hi Vic ...QUESTION: my Reverse gear is Slamming into place. I SPOKE with a Mechanic who says 'Solenoids have nothing to do with Reverse?' *TRUE OR FALSE* ???

[@saneauto]

They didnt use too. Reverse was fed directly from the manual valve and presure was increased by a boost valve with a spring. Now these later models the fluid pressure is solenoid controlled so no longer true. This could help -- amzn.to/3hSKbte

[@jjsiegal1]

@@saneauto I believe that Mechanic is wrong. I'm NOW told the TCM will command 4 linear solenoids to activate (N92-ON, N93-MODULATE, N282-ON and N283-ON). This will enable K3 clutch and B2 brake. So Yes, Solenoids control Reverse as well. **THANKS VIC**

[@ronaldpum]

Thanks for sharing the video - I just replaced all solenoids, put everything back, oil is in right level as I monitor the temp using my laptop. Now, the car wont reverse, any ideas? Thanks in advance

[@saneauto]

Im assuming you had reverse before. Try adding an extra 1/2 quart first before trying anything else. Because a little overfull wont cause any symptoms but a little underfill will. If you still have no reverse suspect and double check everything you touched.

[@ronaldpum]

saneauto thank you so much for the quick response. I will try to add 1/2 quart. I have seen videos where they put a zip tie on the selector so that it doesnt fall out. mine didnt fall out but it moved further from the original position. would pushing it back in be alright?

[@jjsiegal1]

I'm testing my Trans Solenoids now... any idea what Ohm they should be ?

[@sergiuorzac5737]

Hi. I have a 07 VW with the 09g. Box seems to shift normal in R 1 2 3, but trying for 4 5 and 6 it seems to hunt for these gears, the car slightly jolts and revs drop to as if it finds the gear, but seems to have no drive, possibly slipping. The box will stay in 4 or 5 or 6 for a while and then down shift repeatedly until 3rd where there is drive. This started with 3-4 flares and got progressively worse over a few hundred miles. Car had a full oil and filter change with valve body removed and solenoids cleaned. That seemed to somehow sort the issues but less than 200 miles it was back. Any ideas what next? Could it be bore wear and need a new VB? Cheers

[@saneauto]

Yes it could be valve bore wear. At this point its more likely already has clutch damage. If it were mine I would pull it, do a complete rebuild, with a replacement valve body and the solenoid & VB upgrade kit I use -- amzn.to/3IQTVkh

[@soldierd3654]

Going to try to do this fix very soon, hopefully it fixes, the vavles getting sticky.. (causes the transmission to bang everytime it changes gears) on my 2007 Jetta 2.5 automatic

[@Noel127]

SoldierD3 same. Did it help?

[@johnnydeutschemark3620]

Same problem with our '07... jeeze!

[@soldierd3654]

*FIXED* Finally all I did was change the transmission fluid and it worked!!... I bought 6 bottles of transmission fluid on Blauparts. www.blauparts.com/vw-atf-transmission-fluid-g-052-025-a2-aisin-1l.html At first I changed only 500ml and then drove 300km, before doing another 500ml change and drive another 300km. (After 600km total, I already saw the big improvement on shifting) so finally I changed about 3L and changed the transmission filter as well. And it worked like a charm!.. I've been riding for the past 4 months with it, it drives almost as good as new as long as I don't drive for too long.. after 1h of driving I can hear it shift louder. But nothing too crazy as it used to be. So I'm really satisfied. I'm very glad with my results.

[@SpellCheckBot]

@@soldierd3654I have a very important question for you, sir! HOW MANY miles/KM did your vehicle have on the odometer, prior to fluid flush?

[@soldierd3654]

I had 150,000km did 300km between each 500ml flush... 3 times... (Not all at once) I got a used Body Valve from the scrap yard for 20$ installed it and changed all the transmission fluid, all at once. And it worked! Been driving this car for 3 years now, No Problem 👍 it drives like brand new! 🤣

[@alexjr2209]

When twisting with the drill bit to resize bushings, are you apply any amount of pressure up into the solenoid? And one more thing, is this the repair for the hard shifting problem that is common when trans is warm?

[@saneauto]

No pressure. And yes that is one of the problems it fixes. Make sure you use that expensive blue fluid too or the Aisin T-IV because without it you can also get hard shifting and slipping during the shift AKA slide bump. The 09G is manufactured by Aisin Warner so the VW fluid is re-badged Aisin Fluid in a different bottle with a higher price. amzn.to/2ZAgnu3

[@GrizzTV69]

Does this apply to the VW "JUL" code gearbox too?

And do you think that I can clean up everything and replace new solenoid without drilling the gasket ?
