Help Mark Lorello Cleveland TN. Bought used Jetta with iffy tran will not shift. Out of first seems stuck revs go but you can hear car not shifting. No grinding sound or anything lije that. I read about software update that could solve it, or maybe solenoid issue, or perhaps needs fluid change with filter. What could be most likely cause ??? Help please. Traveled three hours to buy hoing to linmp back to cleveland. Nope will need a tow. Any help would be gratefully appreciated... note : car has over 200,000 miles on it. Motor in very good shape.

You will really need to connect the car to a scan tool and see what, if any faults there are, before guessing at the problem. The 5 speed autos did fry solenoids sometimes, and than can also mess up the trans control unit.
