Automatic transmission servicing


What is the oldest VW Beetle with automatic transmission?

I really want and old VW Beetle, but I want an auto trans. What is the first year they made with automatic transmissions?

You really do not want the auto-stick "held from 68-76 or 77 in the original Beetle. The reasons are: parts are scarce and expensive for this transmission second, the skill sets required to maintain this transfer is increasingly difficult to find, thirdly, the frequent self stick requried adjustments for items like the tie and the vacuum bellows to work properly and, finally, did not lose much power (which is only one of three speeds, very appropriate relationships), and also fuel economy suffered. I have not seen one or worked in one of these in almost 15 years, but remember them quite well. If you think a normal Beetle is slow, you must actually drive "auto club." It gives you a new appreciation for the word "slow." The previous writer is correct, we would be better with the change of standard. This will give you an additional skill set to have and leave normal drive almost any vehicle on the road. I also agree that, Samba is the place to find information on VW cold air. I worked at UPS all carburetor and fuel injection in the cooleds air, fuel injection hated configurations of type II, type III and type IV. Hope this helps, a car nut.

Used before. Like a Lot! Will try again on 92Voyager

by pscol from ENDICOTT, NEW YORK, US on 2010-05-07
I have used before many years ago and I remember it saved my old transmission. I have changed the tran filter but it needs something more. I hope Duralube can do it again for me! Let you know later...


Great Product

by L. Mammoser from EDMONDS, WASHINGTON United States on 2010-01-04
I have a 96 Eagle Vision that had developed a stumbling problem when shifting from 3rd to 4th. Oddly, when the transmission was cold it shifted perfectly. But, when it warmed up, it would do a jitterbug going into 4th. My transmission specialist had little to offer other than spending $2,000 plus on a transmission overhaul. So, before doing that I decided to give Dura Lube's Advanced Transmission Treatment a try. It's been in the car for more than a month now, and I have been pleasantly surprised. Over time its positive effect has only gotten better. While it has not been a total cure for the problem, it has improved the situation about 95 percent. Enough to allow me to avoid a major transmission overhaul! Maybe not forever, but certainly for now. I hightly recommend it, and intent to install it in any new/used cars I purchase in the future.

So so product from what was a great name

by Sheldon Kolansky from Near Boston, Ma on 2010-08-14
The filter kit was complete. The filter adapter did not have the in and out ports marked. The directions at one point said if you do not have this (text deleted) go to step 14 and the directions stopped at step 13. Not too impressed. Tech support took 3 hours to call back and say which port was which.


This can't be it already...

by John J. Ulicky from Brew City WI. on 2009-12-19
I ordered this on Wednesday 12/16. The order said it would be 9-12 days, I should expect it on the 22nd. Much to my surprise it was on my doorstep 24 hours later!! The kit comes exactly as desribed, the filter is actually a Purolator with a B&M sticker. There is no hose included, but the clamps are. There are also no instructions included, but if you are ordering this, they must expect you have the know how to install it. Its been on for under 50 miles, and I dont know if its plecebo effect or what, but it seems to not slip as much between 1-2 and not at all between 2-3 or 3-4 now :) I must say so far - I couldent be happier
