2001 jetta auto trans questions
Hello...my 1st post 
Have a 2001 Jetta VR6 which has been a good car so far.
This engine seems to be a 'rever' (short stroke ?) and has no problem at 3, 4, 5k rpm. It has stock tires IIRC.
Q - About what rpm should it be turning at 70mph ? 3k ?
Q - how man gears is the auto trans supposed to have ? Sure wish it had another gear to lower the rpm, and up the gas mileage, on level roads or downhill.
Q - when hot, it will 'hunt' between 3rd and 4th shift it seems. anyone ever fix this ? TCM ? Fluid change ?
