98 Beetle automatic issue
My daughter and I just bought our first beetle. Everything looks good so far except it has a transmission issue (which we were aware of when we bought but we think we still got a good deal).
First off, its driveable. Sometimes though, theres a shudder when it shifts. For instance when braking, and the tranny automatically downshifts, theres a shudder that jerks the car. The previous owner said its worse when its cold. Sometimes its more pronounced and can even stall the car. They took it to a couple of mechanics who felt that it is the torque converter that is the issue. Any thoughts to whether it might be this or any other potential issue? I want to locate some part and get ready to work on it so would like to know what the range of possibilities is. Thanks for your thoughts and help!

There is a good thread on TDI Club for diesel VWs which touches on the issues of the infamous 01M automatic transmission.
