2008 Volkswagen Jetta 4dr Sedan
170-horsepower 2.5L I5 5-speed manual FWD
| 132500 mi US $112 |
Bought the car "As is" from dealer. Drove about 200 miles and transmission wouldn't shift into 5th gear. Had them realign and lube the cables. Now vehicle won't shift into R. Dealer "suspects" bad fly wheel. |
| 147000 mi | We had another local shop realign the cables (February) after the dealer did and that fixed our Reverse issue, but this continued to be a problem for us. Car would intermittently struggle to shift into 5th gear for as long as we owned it. |
