Your Volkswagen transmission features hundreds of moving parts that rely on friction to function. The constant motion of these parts also increases your transmission's temperature. Because of the frequent exposure to friction and heat, your transmission needs regular maintenance at your Volkswagen dealer. Here are some signs that you need to take your VW in for transmission service. more Incorrect Gear If your vehicle does not move as expected once you switch it into a specific gear, it might have one or more issues. You should get your car checked to see if there are problems with its shifter, shifter cable, valve body, or fluid levels. This issue is dangerous to yourself, your passengers, and other drivers, as you may accelerate when you want to decelerate or vice versa Noises in Neutral Your gears should shift silently. When you hear unusual noises while switching gears, your torque converter is likely to have been affected. This converter is the part of your transmission that connects to the engine. It uses transmission fluid to transfer the engine power to the transmission gears, allowing your car to move. High Revving/Slipping Fluid leakage, water infiltration, contamination, and wear and tear of transmission components can lead to high revving and slipping. Regardless of the cause of this issue, you will need to service your transmission quickly to keep your vehicle functioning. Delayed Shifts If your car takes more time than usual to shift into another gear, your transmission might have a problem. To keep yourself safe and prevent engine damage, you should get this checked out. Fluid Leak VWs need different fluids to run correctly so that any leakage may cause trouble. Your transmission fluid is either red or brown. If it’s brown, or you see puddles of red or brown fluid on the ground, then you need service. If you are uncertain if your car is leaking fluid, leave a piece of cardboard or paper under it overnight. Any fluid that leaks will be apparent in the morning. Missing Gears If your vehicle misses certain gears, you should take it in for service before it experiences further damage. Missing gears are a definite sign that you’re having serious transmission troubles. Burning Smell The smell of burning rubber suggests that your gears might be grinding against each other or that fluid is dripping onto the engine and overheating. Instead of trying to determine the source of the smell yourself, you should take it to the dealership for maintenance. Shakes/Jolts Your gear changes should always be smooth and silent. If you notice any shaking, kicking, or jerking when you change gears, don't wait! Take it in for maintenance before the problem gets worse. Overall, there are many signs that your car's transmission needs service.

Fuel-Efficient Powertrain The base 2024 Volkswagen Atlas SE has a lightweight 2.0-liter in-line four-cylinder engine that produces 269 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque.
