Vw Transmission

My gf has a 01 Vw golf and the transmission has been shifting weird lately then today on the way home down the highway it wouldnt go into over drive …any ideas what it would be …I was thinking possible TPS ??? Please anyone any help is very appreciated thanks

CEL?

whats that as Im not familiar with VWs at all … on the way home it would basically be in limp mode with the 1,2 and no other gears

Check Engine Light or any other warning light?

no lights or anything …just hard shifts at high rpms and tonight was lacking the shift to 3rd and overdrive on the highway

anyone else got any ideas on this as I HATE this car and wana fix it asap

Do you know anyone with a VAG-COM cable? I would scan for codes first. That might help you out a little bit. Checked the AT fluid?

Ill scan for a code shortly …Anyone else wana throw an Opinion in …Sonny,Sailor …VW fellers anyone any help is appreciated thanks

how many miles on the tranny? like b-rad said, have you checked / changed fluid recently / ever? filter? Hopefully something easy like that.

its a 2001 golf automatic with 76k miles on it
