The speed sensor on a 2001 VW Jetta is located at the back of the transmission, above the left axle. This part is crucial for the vehicle's operation, but problems can arise over time. Symptoms such as shuddering, hard shifting, jerking, or gears getting stuck may occur. Delayed shifts can lead to acceleration issues, and the transmission might also slip. Any leaks in the transmission fluid should be addressed promptly, and it's recommended to change the fluid every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. In addition to fluid changes, you may hear unusual noises coming from the transmission due to old fluid. A worn torque converter can also cause significant problems.
