Welcome to the InSaneFriends Thank you for your kind comment

[@gregorydelvalle2702]

I actually followed along the video with printed instructions

[@saneauto]

Your awesome

[@tjsogmc]

Thank you for the video. I would never have figured out how to get the torque converter bolts off. The rest of the job was pretty easy.

[@saneauto]

Glad it helped. Thank you for commenting

[@charlesmcgee9016]

Thanks for video, it help me out all the way, took us a week

[@saneauto]

Kudos to you for tackling a big job like this.

[@carlosportales941]

I have the exact same transmission thank you so much for the video

[@JoeSan-y5n]

Really good instructions

[@saneauto]

Thank you

Great video mate, very informative helped me out a heap. Just changed mine trans.

[@saneauto]

Awesome, thanks for the comment. New Videos here every Tuesday and Thursday. Live every Sunday night.

I'm about to replace the rear main seal - so my transmission has to separate from the engine to gain access. In my case, the vehicle also has 4-Motion AWD. The service manual states I need to remove the AWD bevel gear box and the driveshaft going towards the rear of the car and even the exhaust pipes. You think there is a way to separate the transmission from the engine without all that additional fuss?

[@saneauto]

I know it sounds like a lot of extra, but no trans comes out without the driveshafts. And lots of them are easier to remove when you take the exhaust out. Be prepared there's a lot more to it. Keep everything well organized and labeled as you take it out.

[@ACitizenOfOurWorld]

Thanks for the reply. We already replaced the waterpump after it failed and did a preventative "we're not taking a chance on this one" timing chain tensioner replacement with VW's revised design. This will be our most involved service procedure.

[@saneauto]

Take some pictures with your camera phone of wire connectors, brackets etc. to help with the reinstall. You can put masking tape on wire connectors and write something on the tape to help with remembering where they plug in.

[@andresmiranda1926]

Hi my friend, thanks for the video! Can you tell me the better fluid for this transmission? And any web for torque specs? Thanks in advance!

[@carlosportales941]

By any chance do you know where the speed sensor is at in that transmission

[@marcelao3649]

My friend, thank you very much for your attention.

[@olivergowen13]

Dude hell yeah

[@saneauto]

I know, Right! ;-) _Your awesome!_ Come back and comment on some more vids any time.

[@ScoutsOut]

did you have to reprogram the TCM, or do you know if you swap trans do you have to reprogram?

[@saneauto]

I have R&R quit a few transmissions in these and other vehicles that require programming. Some of them I have gotten away with not reprogramming. Others just would not work right without it. Its really a crap shoot and you could damage a good transmission. I will try this one on the lift when Im done without the programming first if it feels ok i will road test it and let you know. I may make a video after I publish my install video.

[@ScoutsOut]

Thanks for the response, if you do have to reprogram is there scan tool you know that will d it or do you take it to the dealer

Scouts Out Autel DS708

[@psyghtseer]

doesnt look that bad. definitely gonna try to get off the couch to replace the rear main seal in my 2008 beetle.

[@saneauto]

The swivell sockets make a huge differance. If you cant afford a set at least get a swivel attachment like this amzn.to/ElmiXV

excellent video ... the coolant is not spilled?

The video is very good!

All complements are much appreciated ;-)

[@robertmeyer8051]

Very informative

[@saneauto]

thank you for your kind comment

[@marcelao3649]

good night friend, to turn the torque converter the gear has to be in "P" or "N"?

[@saneauto]

The torque converter will turn with the gear selector in any position

[@victorsandoval7602]

Quick Question Is there a difference in the 09G Transmission vs HTU Transmission?

[@saneauto]

Thank you for commenting. HTU is just the "door code" indicating that the vehicle is equipped with the 09G transaxle

[@victorsandoval7602]

[@MS-mc2vu]

Informative and thorough. Good audio. Video is a bit Blair Witch, but overall good stuff.

[@saneauto]

OMG LOL Your right its very Blair Witch not enough light and I didnt have a stabilizer. Thats a great way to remember more light and use the stabilizer.

@@saneauto I ordered a book for myself, I want to start posting videos of my own on other subjects. The name of the book is, "How to Shoot Video That Doesn't Suck", by Steve Stockman. Your videos are better than mine already so I'm not sure if it is something you need. But, I'm going to try it. LOL

[@halpayne612]

Great Video.

[@saneauto]

Thank you

[@quincykyle4747]

I appreciate you

[@nuklhed1]

I know this video has been posted for some time now but, my daughter's 03 has some issues where the trans will engage at about 2000 rpm's. Is it possible that the tps is giving errors causing the shift issues? Also, did you have to keep some power to the car for the security system?

[@nuklhed1]

TCM Sorry

[@saneauto]

I doubt its electrical the clutches are probably burnt already. You wont have to maintain power to the car while replacing the transmission. If you want to maintain just enough power to be sure you dont lose your engine management programming and keep all your radio presets and trip meter clock etc. All you need is this cheap little tool. amzn.to/2Yoo2Le Its the same as the one I have and used for customer cars for over 20 years and mine still works.

[@nuklhed1]

@@saneauto You say clutches, I'm not sure if that's what was meant, ours is the 6 speed automatic. Thanks for replying!

[@paulcalif]

I came across an 04 convertible Beetle with the 2.0 engine for sale for what appears to be a good price. The owner says her Ex. had the engine rebuilt in December, but ever since then, the automatic transmission doesn't engage (her words)??? She says it needs a transmission, a GGZ, and that the engine runs. Can you think of any reason, other than it needing a transmission that might explain that? Could the crank shaft be broken where the flex plate attaches? Just seems a little fishy to me. Maybe the linkage isn't connected?? Why would the trans go out at the same time that the engine is replaced? If I buy it, I would put a used trans in it if it needed one. Can I get the trans out of it without a lift? What's a fair R&R charge if I decide to hire it out? 16 hours? I've been working on engines since I was about 12 too, but never as a source of income. I'm 63. Lately I've been working on Diesel Light Towers, still learning, had never worked on diesels before.... Thanks, Paul

[@saneauto]

Most likely they did something like: left the torque converter bolts out of the flex plate. Ive never seen a broken crank on one of these. Your right to suspect the linkage too. check the fluid and all wire connectors.

[@paulcalif]

saneauto Thanks for the reply! I'll check it out...

[@timking92]

Great video thank you!

[@CamaroTime]

That view looks very familiar...LOL

[@saneauto]

I bet it does. Try not to hit your head on the edge of the lift arms it will bleed like a large shaving cut.

@@saneauto what would you charge for a job like this?

[@jimbuford4147]

I am a new subscriber. My granddaughter has the same vehicle and tranny. How long would you say it took you to get the transmission out of the car? Thanks

[@saneauto]

All day to take it out. 8-10 hours. Have you got a lift or on the ground?

[@jimbuford4147]

I have a quik lift that I can get it up about 30 inches from the floor. Not sure if that is enough clearance.

[@MitziedosSantos]

saneauto so in two days all seals can be changed? If one were to be told that the job would take two days to change all seals that would be reasonable?

[@BrianRobben]

How long have you been working on cars? Obviously you know what you're talking about and doing.

[@saneauto]

Thank you for your question Brian. I have been working on vehicles since I was 12, about 38 years ago. However My true passion is Business, Sales etc. I ran the 2nd largest Transmission rebuilding facility in Chattanooga for 16 years. I currently run a parts company, and a couple of KZbin channels. And other internet businesses. Are you interested in a career working on cars or DIY repairs?
