when the transmission is not shifting or changing out on a 1.8 jetta
my drive and 3rd not working what is causing this promblem is their a a promblem with the transmission
Driving in 3rd gear instead of fourth will not affect your transmission as much as your engine. In fact, if you are driving in a manner that causes a lot of shifting between 3rd and 4th, it may be easier on the transmission to leave it in 3rd. If your transmission needs fixed, I don't think it would be from leaving it in 3rd gear. As far as cost, it will vary greatly depending on what needs done and what type of car you have.
When you are driving a car with a manual transmission, you do not move at the normal, rapid speed of driving until you have shifted into 3rd gear. So metaphorically, you can say that to do something with a suitable speed involves getting in gear.
An automatic transmission is better than a manual transmission for city driving. It cuts down on the fatigue of constant shifting and reduces rollback.
I don't believe so. Coasting is basically doing the same thing as driving, only you're not on the gas pedal. If you're driving a manual, then it's basically driving in neutral assuming you're on the clutch.

There are several things that can cause your transmission to slip, while first pulling out. The most common cause is a worn drive gear.
Not necessarily, but continued driving may lead you there if it isn't fixed. It may be in the transmission control system that is causing the ill behavior. Pukenstein@aol.com
It could be the transmission, it could be some parts under the vehicle that rub only when travelling forward.
Your transmission is slipping and needs to be rebuilt.
What can cause the RPM on a car to jump while driving is a problem with the transmission. It could be a problem with the gears in the transmission itself.
