    Automatic transmission still not running smoth after changing the whole gearbox

    Hey guys, I'm helpless...
    I sold my S6 to my Brother in low and the automatic transmission didn't shift smothly any more. Now we bought a used spare one which was garenteed to run ok. now we put it in and it does the thing again. Not shifting right especially from third into fourth.
    Anyone have an idea what else it could be...
    ask me questions,if you need more information.
    Thanks so far...

    (it's a '96 20VT, 130000km on the clock)

        Is the oil level correct they are really picky about there oil level and have to be filled to level whilst running.

          Sounds like the trans is not getting a correct signal from outside. Engine speed sensor maybe?
          When you say not shifting smoothly, what do you mean? You get a shock or hard shift? Or not shift up?

            the Oil-Level is fine. That's the first thing I checked and changed the oil. What do you mean by checking while running.

            It kinda stutters when taking of out of a stop and does stutter before shifting up. Mainly from Third into fourth. But it does shift.

                  On my V8 there is no dipstick. there are two holes in the sump one for level and one for filling

                  The box must be filled to level with the engine running and the box in neutral on a level surface at an oil temp of around 30 degrees c

                  Then shifted through the gears held in each gear for 10 seconds then re-checked fill if necessary

                  Other than the level it's got to be the electronics

                    You'll need to plug in with a scanner of some kind (vag-com etc) and read the transmission temp in order to get the level correct. Part of this procedure is with the engine running.

                    Without doing it this way, it will never operate correctly.
