Narrative

AFTER 15 OR SO MINUTES THE TRANSMISSION STARTS TO MISS FIRST & SECOND GEAR SHIFTING ERRATICALLY IF YOU ARE MAKING A LEFT TURN, IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE FOR A FEW SECONDS THIS CAN CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE READ OTHER COMPLAINTS & OTHER VW 2005 SUPER BEETLES HAVE THIS PROBLEM. THANKS. *TR
