2002 Volkswagen VW Passat transmission

Some German cars are doing that these days. I wouldnt recommend going 100k without a service. Personally, I would do it at least at 50 and 100 k

Yep, the more you service the transmission the longer it will last. Here is a guide that can help and I have included how to service your transmission i the images below.
