One thing you will learn about any online community, is that sometimes you will have to wait more than one day for a comment (VWVortex included). When that first comment comes, it won't always be a solution (see above post for an example). You have to understand that most communities (especially ones that are small like this one), function as show-off and troubleshooting. Unless someone has something new on their car or a problem, they are unlikely to frequently visit (with some exceptions). Also, most people will not answer your post unless they have a solution for you, or have had a similar issue and are looking for an answer as well.

Now to your tranny problem...

Where did you purchase the car from? If a dealer... TAKE IT BACK TO THEM and have them fix it. If not, you might be S.O.L. depending on the laws in your state. Without more info, it's hard (at least for me) to tell you exactly what is wrong with the tranny. You will most likely need to take it in to a shop. If you have expereince working with VW transmissions, it might not be a problem. If you have no experience with them, nothing we will be able to tell you will be "easy". Let us know what you find out... It might help someone else.

ive found good help here. first of all give people a chance world doesnt revolve around you and your prob though people are more than happy to help. also this forum is a smaller one but its a good place to find good people willing to help. it may just take a lil longer go to vwvortec its full of jerks who will help but arent nice about it haha but yeah who knows maybe you will find you fit in better there..... especially if you are going to insult the very people you are asking for help just my .02 maybe where it doesnt belong but its out there now

alot of fuc king help u guys are
LOL yes.... Well, you know what would help? Telling us what kind of transmission you have. Which you didnt... but expected an answer.

But its safe to assume its automatic..... And you broke the shifter linkage cable by slamming the shifter around.

Good luck at the Tex'. They'll love that story.
