hey guys im new to this fourm. my dad got a 2002 beetle last year because of how bad gas was getting. it was the first VW we have owned. we have had it for a little more than a year and we are incountering are first problem with it so far. when you drive over 45mph it sounds like the car does not want to shift, makes a humming/ howling noise. but when you put the car in nutral the RPM's on the car drop to normal. my dad thinks its the drivetrain but i dont think thats what it is.

sry for the long post but your input would be verry helpful.

 

yeah its an automatic. i thought it was the converter to but my dad says its not a tranny problem but i think he is wrong lol. the car only has 44000 miles on it and everything was kept up ion it so idk why the tranny would be going on it. have you herd of the trannys going on thoes cars?

 

one of his friends has shop so he is going to take a look at it tomarro. so ill have more news then.
