I dropped the transmission pan and replaced the filter today on the Beetle. The fluid and filter appear to be original, so this is LONG overdue. I have a sluggish 3-4 shift with no faults in the TCU, so this is step one. Let's see if this helps the delay in the shifting. I will be using valvoline MaxLife ATF which meets the VW specifications.
