There is a recall for this part, contact your local VW dealership. The problem is in the brake light switch, it is a faulty part. If you have had prior repairs and paid for them on this part you can get a refund from VW.
where is the reverse light switch located on a 2002 jetta with a stick shift
There are a couple of reasons why a 1993 Mercury Villager is hard to shift. One reason could be a gear shift cable. Another reason could be low transmission fluid.
it has to.... go to the garage...
The solenoid electrical sensor is responsible for allowing a shift in gears. The sensor in a Jetta VR6 can be fixed by a dealer mechanic.
Drive your car off of a cliff
Your shift lock solenoid may be bad.
On a 1997 Volkswagen Jetta, the shifting solenoids are situated inside the valve body of the transmission. The valve body is the brain of the transmission.
I believe it is the same as in my 98 vw golf, as far as I know anyway, that would be with reverse being closest to the driver, and everything is normal after that. 1st to 5th.
Consult a Local Transmission Shop
You can't shift gears on an automatic transmission because, as it is called, it's automatic! You don't need to shift, it does it for you. == == Maybe the question should be "Why is my automatic transmission not shifting through gears for me as it should?" Could it be a fairly simlpe fix or am I losing my transmission? Yeah Dopey!
I hear there was a problem with the parking switch. The parking switch (what I call it) is the mechanism that is connected to the brake which would need to be depressed before you could shift out of park. It is a safety feature. So basicaly when you would push in the brake pedal the switch would not activate and therefore you could not shift out of park. FYI there is a recall on the parking switch.
If you asking this question , you have no reason being behind the wheel .
