IDENTIFICATION

Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG) transaxle type is cast into top of transaxle case, next to ATF cooler. Transaxle code and build date are located on top of transaxle case, next to starter.

DESCRIPTION & OPERATION

Transaxle includes a 4-speed automatic transmission, lock-up torque converter, final drive and solenoid-operated valve body. See Fig. 1. Under normal conditions, all shifts are controlled by a Transaxle Control Module (TCM). See Fig. 2. Fourth gear is an overdrive gear.

The transmission elements consist of a planetary gear set, one-way roller clutch, 3 apply clutches, 2 brake clutches and a torque converter lock-up clutch. See Figs. 1 and 3. All 4 forward gears are hydraulically activated. When the lock-up clutch is engaged, the forward gears become mechanically driven by eliminating torque converter slip. The lock-up clutch is

engaged depending on engine load and vehicle speed. Power from the transmission is connected to the drive pinion through transfer gears. A ring gear and differential assembly are connected to flanges which spin the drive axles. The electronic control consists of a TCM (located under rear seat), control solenoids, various sensors and switches. The control solenoids direct oil pressure inside the valve body. Solenoid valves No. 1-4 control the apply and brake clutches. Solenoid valves No. 5 and 7 control shift smoothness. Solenoid valve No. 6 is a frequency valve and controls the main hydraulic pressure. The TCM controls the main hydraulic pressure by varying the duty cycle. The TCM monitors input and output signals. If electrical problems occur, TCM will record faults in TCM memory and may go into fail-safe mode (also known as emergency running mode). If TCM enters fail-safe mode, the transaxle will operate manually in reverse, 1st or 3rd gear. In fail-safe mode, 3rd gear operates with gear selector in 2nd, 3rd or "D". If engine is started with TCM in fail-safe mode, TCM activates 3rd gear hydraulically. The TCM memory can only be read using Scan Tool (VAG 1551) and Adapter (VAG 1551/3). The TCM also controls shift lock system. This system locks the gear selector in Park or Neutral position unless the brake pedal is pressed. The TCM uses a shift lock control relay to release a gearselector mounted solenoid. See Fig. 2.

Article Text (p. 6)

1996 Volkswagen Golf

For Volkswagen Technical Site

Check valve body for sticking valve(s) or faulty shift solenoid(s).

Erratic Or Harsh Shifts Short in wiring to shift solenoid(s) or faulty shift solenoid(s). Check for proper throttle angle adjustment. See TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS.

Harsh Shift In One Gear Only Determine elements involved. Air check elements. Check for faulty shift solenoid or shift valve.

Stuck In Emergency Running Mode Check for incorrect TCM installed, faulty wiring, bad solenoid electrical strip (inside oil pan) or stuck valve.

Park Lock Will Not Engage Check for misadjusted selector lever cable. Check for faulty locking mechanism.

Thursday, August 19, 1999 11:28PM

Bucking Or Poor Idling Check throttle housing and air ducts for leaks. Check for possible air entering oil pump pickup.

Excess Engine RPM Drop When Shifting Into 1st Gear Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM).

Engine Starts In Gear Or No Start In Park/Neutral Check for faulty Park/Neutral safety switch.

Shift Lock Not Holding Selector In Park/Neutral Check for faulty shift lock solenoid, shift lock mechanism or bad TCM.

MECHANICAL, HYDRAULIC & ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS

1) If gear selector is stuck in Park or Neutral position, go to SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM under TROUBLE SHOOTING. If gear positions are missing, shift quality is poor or no shifts are possible, ensure all electrical connections are okay and fluid level is correct.

2) If problems are still present, disconnect electrical connector at transaxle. Test drive vehicle. Check if transaxle will operate manually in reverse and 1st gear. Move gear selector to 2nd, 3rd or "D" position. Transaxle should operate in 3rd gear (2nd, 3rd or "D").

3) If transaxle operates as described, problem may be electrical. See ELECTRONIC SELF-DIAGNOSTICS. If transaxle does not operate as described, problem may be mechanical or hydraulic. See ROAD TEST.

NOTE: If transaxle does not operate in manual 1st gear, check 1st-3rd apply clutch and reverse brake clutch for damage or

wear. If transaxle does not operate in manual reverse gear, check reverse apply clutch and reverse brake clutch for damage or wear.

ROAD TEST

WARNING: DO NOT exceed safe or legal speed limits during road test.

1) Road test vehicle with transaxle in "D" range. With vehicle at a speed above kickdown speed, press throttle pedal down and note kickdown shift speeds. Compare kickdown shift speeds to kickdown shift speed specifications. See KICKDOWN SHIFT SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table.

NOTE: In the following table, letter suffix following gear application refers to Hydraulic ("H") or Mechanical ("M") gear operation. Hydraulic or manual gear operation depends on operating mode of torque converter lock-up clutch.

SHIFT LOCK SYSTEM

Operation

AUTO TRANS DIAGNOSIS - 01M

Article Text (p. 9)

1996 Volkswagen Golf

For Volkswagen Technical Site

All models are equipped with an electronic shift lock system. TCM controls shift lock system. See Fig. 2. This system locks gear selector in Park or Neutral position unless brake pedal is pressed. TCM uses shift lock control relay to release a solenoid mounted on gear selector assembly.

NOTE: Shift lock relay will not lock gear selector when vehicle speed is greater than 3 MPH.

A mechanical control cable prevents ignition key from being removed unless gear selector is in Park position. With ignition key removed, gear selector locks in Park position.

NOTE: If battery is disconnected or discharged, gear selector can be moved out of Park position by turning ignition key to START position.

Functional Check

1) With ignition key removed, ensure gear selector cannot be moved from "P" position. Insert key in ignition switch.

2) Turn ignition on. Ensure gear selector can only be moved with brake pedal pressed. Move gear selector to "N" position.

3) Without pressing brake pedal, ensure gear selector cannot move out of "N" position. Press brake pedal down. Ensure it is now possible to move gear selector.

4) If shift lock system does not operate as described, adjust gear selector, solenoid and control cable. If shift lock system does not operate after adjustments are made, check shift lock electrical system with Scan Tool (VAG 1551).

5) See testing information under ELECTRONIC SELF-DIAGNOSTICS. See Figs. 10-13. If any problems are found, service harness or components. If no problems are found, TCM may be defective. If shift lock system still does not operate correctly, check for worn or damaged parts and replace as necessary. See Figs. 2 and 4.

ELECTRONIC SELF-DIAGNOSTICS

RETRIEVING TROUBLE CODES

1) Electronic control consists of a TCM (located under rear seat), control solenoids, and various sensors and switches. TCM monitors input and output signals. See Fig. 2.

2) If TCM detects problems in transaxle-related circuits or devices, TCM may record a trouble code in memory. To retrieve obtain trouble codes, use Scan Tool (VAG 1551) and Adapter (VAG 1551/3). All trouble code and related testing information is contained in scan tool.

TESTING

ELECTRICAL

NOTE: Manufacturer does not provide electrical component tests or specifications. All testing information is contained in Scan Tool (VAG 1551).

1) To isolate TCM circuit problems without a scan tool, circuit resistance and voltage can be checked by using Test Box (VAG 1598/18).

2) When checking circuit voltage, leave battery connected with test box connected to TCM and TCM vehicle harness. When checking circuit resistance, disconnect negative battery cable and connect test

2) Firmly press brake pedal. Move gear selector to "D" position. Open throttle to wide open throttle position. Note engine speed and release throttle pedal.

3) Compare measured stall speed with stall speed specification. See STALL SPEED SPECIFICATIONS table. If stall speed is within range, test is complete.

4) If stall speed is up to 200 RPM too low, check engine condition and adjustments. If stall speed is greater than 200 RPM too low, torque converter is faulty. If stall speed is too high, check 1st-3rd apply clutch or one-way clutch for slipping or damage.
