“1999 vw Eurovan camper transmission problem. The transmission has up to 5 seconds or more delay once in drive before the transmission engages & very hard downshifts from 4th gear to 3rd (automatic). Of note were the delays & hoops that the dealer forced me through. Had to pay hundreds of dollars for transmission service & a number of trips before they said they could pursue any warranty. Note - had taken car to a vw transmission company that rebuilds transmissions for vw across the nation. …”
