Why Volkswagen 09G Transmissions Fail

Here's a look inside the Volkswagen 6 speed automatic transmission and how it works!


The Volkswagen 09G transaxle was used in the Rabbit, Golf, Beetle and Mini Cooper and was developed by Aisin Warner. Its main defect is with the valve body, with valve seats wearing down, valves sticking, solenoids being defective and the valve body not being able to properly control the shifts in the transmission causing slips and shuddering.


This transaxle utilizes planetary gearsets, clutches and an integrated differential to form 6 forward gears and one reverse. It has a manual valve controlled by the PRNDL selector, an integrated valve body accessible by the pan below and an open differential as well as a top mounted transmission fluid cooler.


This transmission came from a 2008 Volkswagen Rabbit with an inline 5 cylinder engine. Interestingly enough, this transmission does not require special fasteners or tools to disassemble, which is atypical for a VAG product.
