Tranny blown???

Asked by Kelly N Sam Feb 04, 2018 at 11:01 AM about the 2008 Volkswagen Jetta 2.5

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I went to back up my Jetta out of a parking spot
and it would roll about a foot and stop, almost as if
there was a speed bump behind me. I proceeded to
put it in first and roll forward same thing, roll about a
foot and stop as if there was a speedbump in front
of me. I shut it off, turned it back on try to guns,
same thing, only this time a little bit of smoke
protruded from the hood and all of the transmission
fluid ended up on the ground. Any thoughts?

sounds like a blown trany to me. it likely exploded all the gears inside hence the fluid all over. you are likely going to need a new one tranys go for about 800$ -2500$ + instalation. I would suggest geting to something like a mr transmission and have them do it. I doubt they will be able to repair it so jsut get them to put in a good used one and best bet would be to have it rebuilt before puting it in if you have the money. Either that or sell the car and get a new one.
