Definitely go for the fluid CHANGE, not FLUSH. The flush, as DZLBUG explained to me, dislodges a bunch of stuff that is probably better off being stuck where it is now.
DZLBUG will probably chime in here in a little bit and give you all the technical nitty gritty and then put in a plug for a 5 speed manual swap lol.
Mine was shifting hard, and after the change and a week of driving, everything is silky smooth.
It's definitely a relatively inexpensive place to start, and the price you got quoted is right in line with what I paid.
Good luck and keep us posted!  |
I'm not DZLBUG, but I can vouch from another technical advisor, The Cheat- certified VW mechanic that this is correct. Auto transmissions are a friction driven aparatus and flushing will remove some friction related particles which more than likely aid in the function of your transmission.
