I'm looking for a good shop to take my vw for service :)

[lepichichi]

I just purchased a 2001 jetta (auto) but the tranny slips from 1st to 2nd gear and from 3rd to 4th, it also kicks really hard when downshifting from 3rd to 2nd. I replaced the transmission fluid and it helped a little bit. I dont have any experience in vw, so i need a guru to take a look at my car.
thanks in advance.

BTW I'm in philadelphia

[rubbadubbing39]

i no you said your in philly but genes in broomall does good work and mainly work on vw and audis so im sure they could help you out

[jpalamar]

I'm assuming you did the filter with the fluid?

[lepichichi]

^^ yeap

[enigma]

How many mile are on the car?
When i was working with my buddy on VW's, we had a car with some trans issues(hard shifting etc), and after swapping the valve body out, as well as new fluid, it fixed the issues.

Lenny @ L&T Enterprises: (610) 264-9191............be prepared to stay on the phone line, he's insanely busy. But when you get a hold of him he is awesome. I think most guys on here can vouch for him.

He fixed my blown #4 coil and O2 Sensor. $700, and he is the only guy i let work on my 73 bug.

His kid Warren is the **** too....he gave me a part out of a junked Jetta to complete my armrest delete. We went in the back and climbed up on junked cars to find the piece and he was nice as hell. He was telling me about his dads crazy dirt track in his backyard. they race dirt bikes and Lenny does all these crazy flips lol.

[Willdue]

Lenny is a NUT. His tracks huge at his house. Whenever i come to the shop late at night to help w the harlequin, its always a good time. Warren is cool to.
