Auto Parts: VW Jetta GL Transmission, vw jetta, pep boys

Question
I need to know the 3 letter code on my transmission (since there are 4 different ones). How and where do I find this? Do I need to get under the car or can I see it from the top? Any other info you may know would be helpful. Thank you

Answer
Hi Courtney,

Lemme guess, CHE. Lol

Under the car there will be a small metal plate attached to the side (front) of the transmission with the code stamped onto it. I'm joking when I said about the 'CHE' because they are the only ones that typically had issues but check your actual code first.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
