so apparently "The shifting of this transmission is controlled by the Transmission Control Module, or TCM. This computer uses "fuzzy logic" to learn the driving habits of the driver in order to anticipate what to do next."
From the wikipedia page of the 01M auto transmission.
I have a habit of putting it in Neutral when waiting at the lights or coasting down a hill. I suspect this has been confusing the logic and why it sometimes acts weird.

Sounds like something that would solve all the random slipping problems if resetting the logic and changing my driving habits doesn't work.
I was quoted ~$400 to service the transmission...I've done 130k+ and not sure when it was last serviced, if ever.
yeah, yeah...should just be done with it and convert to manual but no money or time for that.Past - '95 VW Golf MK3 VR6

For about $100 (quote from July though...) I can get the gasket and filter from my local VW parts shop. I assume they can supply me with trans oil too, or should I get some reputable third party.
I think I should do it this week since I have a week off uni.Past - '95 VW Golf MK3 VR6
