    1998 VW Golf (Automatic)

    Does not shift when it should. Constantly gets up to 4-5k rpm before shifting. Seems to shift easier when I let off the gas for a moment. Not very auto inclined, so don't know what other details to give.

    You're on the right track with the fuel pressure. Which led me to think of 2 things that caused that problem.

    1) The fuel pump

    2) The fuel pump emergency shut off switch ( Inertia Switch )

    I wasn't sure which one it was at first and didn't wanna pay for the Ford dealership to run the codes. So I dropped the tank, drained it, checked the pump, which had no signs of being fucked up. So I cleaned the tank and put that shit back. Then found the inertia switch behind the passenger kick panel near the bottom of the door. Bingo. Cost me 150$ ish to repair. Running smooth now

    As a VW tech, I'd check if there's any software updates for your gearbox electronics.

    Hey @HolmaN! Good to see you.

    Are you sure? It's a relatively new problem, never use to do it. The car is 16 years old now, so a software update seems unlikely? I could be completely wrong.

    @Spectrus I'm not sure if that specific car has a TPS sensor. But I helped my dad replace his and it fixed the shifting problems with his Ford. Not sure if that's any help at all ha
