Repair Manual
When towing, the ATF pump is not operated, and
therefore rotating components are not lubricated. To
avoid severe damage to the transaxle, the following
conditions must be met:
- The selector lever must be in the “N” Neutral
position.
- Towing speed must not exceed 31 mph
(50km/h).
- Vehicle must not be towed further than 31 miles
(50 km).
NOTE: For Jetta and Passat, if the battery is
disconnected or discharged, the selector lever
emergency release must be operated to shift the
selector lever out of “P” into “N”.
- Automatic upshifts when the maximum RPM is
reached.
- Automatic downshifts when the RPM falls
below the programed minimum RPM.
- Kickdown shifting available.
- Acceleration from standing start in second gear
by selecting 2nd before accelerating.
- Upshift or downshift prevention.

Steering wheel paddles are available as options,as
shown in Figure 25, and they also will vary in
appearance with the different vehicle applications.
However, operation and function remains the same
with the TF-60SN. These operational paddles are
found in the steering wheel on the left and right hand
side, as shown in Figure 25.
Upshifts and downshifts occur by tapping the
appropriate paddle. The shift signals are an input to
the TCM, which in turn carries out the request.
If the Tiptronic paddles in the steering wheel are
operated while in automatic mode, the TCM enters
"Tiptronic Mode". If the paddles are not operated, the
TCM returns to the automatic mode after a
preprogramed amount of time.
In case of a signal failure, no Tiptronic functions are
possible using the steering wheel paddles.
These vehicles are also equipped with and LED
display on the instrument panel that will display the
gear selected with the selector lever, as shown in
Figure 26.
When the vehicle is first started, the display will be
"P", as shown in Figure 26. If reverse is selected the
"R" will be displayed.
When Drive is selected for the automatic forward
mode the "D" will be displayed momentarily and will
then go to "1", as you are still in first gear. As you are
driving, the gear that the transaxle is in will be
displayed on the instrument panel.
When in the Tiptronic Mode, the gear selected by
pressing the paddles will be displayed in the
instrument panel. Keep in mind that 2nd gear starts
can be achieved using this feature. 3rd gear standing
starts are not allowed.
Figure 26
In mechanical emergency running mode, 3rd gear is
always engaged. If the transmission is already in 4th,
5th or 6th gear, the current gear is maintained until the
selector lever is placed into the neutral position the
engine is stopped.
When starting off, 3rd gear is always engaged
whether the selector lever is in the D or S position.
Reverse is available (R-gear locking is not active).
System pressure is controlled to the maximum value;
the shifting elements are pressurized to maximum
shifting pressure. This results in a hard shift when
engaging the driving mode. The torque converter
lock-up clutch remains off.
