Possible causes of transmission kicking in Volkswagen vehicles with automatic transmission:
Oil problems:
*Low transmission fluid level
* Contaminated or old gear oil
Wear of mechanical components:
* Worn friction discs
* Faulty solenoids
* Damaged torque converter
Electrical problems:
* Faulty speed sensors
* Electronic control unit (ECU)
Clogging:
* Clogged oil filter
* Clogged transmission cooling radiator
Other reasons:
* Loose engine or transmission mounts
* Engine or transmission temperature too high
Recommendations for elimination:
* Check the level and condition of the transmission fluid. If necessary, add or replace fluid.
* Diagnose the gearbox using a scanner. This will help identify any faulty sensors or solenoids.
*Consider rebuilding or replacing the transmission. This may be necessary if internal components are severely worn or damaged.
* Ensure proper installation and tightening of engine and transmission mounts.
* Maintain the transmission cooling radiator. Its clogging can lead to overheating.
Notes:
*Transmission kicking may be a sign of a serious problem.
*If you experience transmission kicking, it is important to see a qualified mechanic as soon as possible.
* Delay in repairs may result in further damage and more expensive repairs.
