1998 VW Sharan CL -Auto -2ltr- 66k miles -petrol?

All shift points are controlled by electronics. Speed sensor, throttle position, load sensor (MAF) and range switch. Normal to shift into top on light throttle about 40 MPH will be later with throttle. The shifts are adaptive and vary so cannot be exact. Check live data to see what is happening. An ATF change will NOT cure this.

when this happened on my '97 sharan, i had the transmisson fluid changed and this worked for me, while having it done, spoke to techie, who said if fluid change did not work, then possibly looking at having g/box stripped down, as could be gearing inside wearing out, common fault on these g/boxes. Good Luck.

hope it helps
