The VW Passat was introduced in 1972 as a mid to large size car. It deviates from the Beetle in many ways. The way it deviates the most is in it’s drive-line design. VW adopted the very common and successful Transverse transmission arrangement. Being of solid design and used extensively on other makes of cars, VW put their brand on said system.

The Passat has evolved very much over the years. When VW was introduced, it was called the ”Peoples Car”. A car everyone could afford, which was easy to maintain and affordable to fix. Well, modern technology has changed most of the easy to fix part. But the tradeoff is a fair one, the Passat out-drives many other cars in it’s class and price range with ease.
From offering a 4 speed manual transmission and a 3 speed automatic transmission, they are now building some of the most advanced and outstanding transmissions in the world. In today’s society, that is a good tradeoff for most folks. Reliability is the issue.
Jump forward to the newest generation of Passat and we have a very high technology drive system called ”4MOTION four wheel drive, that comes with a 6 speed twin clutch direct shift Gearbox [transmissions] [DSG]. 4motion the name of Volkswagens patented drive system, used exclusively on Volkswagen automobiles which use four-wheel drive [4WD] systems.
The Direct-Shift Gearbox[ DSG] is computer controlled, electronically activated dual clutch disc multiple/shaft manual transmission, a transaxle design, without a clutch pedal, with full automatic or semi-automatic controls.
Simply put, it is two separate manual transmissions and two clutch discs, contained within one housing, and working as one unit to evenly distribute the power across the entire drive-line.
Being that this is not an ordinary transmission system, the first suggestion I would make should you suspect, or know you have a transmission problem is to seek professional help. It is not a job for the back yard mechanic.
My second suggestion holds as much water or more as the first one. Buy your Passat transmission from the best supply company you can find. Transmissions are not a good area to cut corners on, especially high technology transmissions. It always costs less in the long and short run to buy a product which is rebuilt properly, or is is known to be in perfect working order with a warranty to prove it.
I won’t and can’t suggest which type of transmission will suit your interests and pocketbook. What I can say is GotTransmissions has an excellent variety of precision transmissions using original VW parts or better, with every approved Volkswagen update, or, one of our certified good used transmissions.
There is no wrong way to go when you buy from GotTransmissions.com.
