My car has had this problem where it is shifting in a very odd manor and I took it to the VW dealership here in my town and they said that they would have to replace the TCM ($1300/€1148.51) which is just ridiculous. I had talked to other car friends and it seems it would be cheaper to swap out the current auto tranny for a manual. I would do this mostly because I feel that replacing the TCM won't fix the transmission problems as the auto VR6 models are known for going bad a lot sooner than the manual options. Any suggestions from you guys as to what I should do? Should I just replace the TCM

Dave_ciw I had just found your Facebook page and was talking to one of the moderators of the site! I just hadn't had the chance until recently to be able to make the account! I found your FB page/website through a suggested page on Facebook and joined from there. A couple of my buddies are part of it and told me to join!

My name is Matt and I am a recent follower to the VR6 Owners club FB page and a recent member of the website. I am also the manager of my own blog and now the blogger for this website. I talked things over with one of the mods here and we decided that I got the part for it and I am really excited to start that! Hopefully you all check it out and enjoy it. I look forward to talking with some of you through here!
