Tranny Q's

["Jason Arms" <redbug64@hotmail.com>]

List,

Question 1:  Ok, a few days ago i swapped a self adjust clutch cable for a 
manual one cause my car would not shift.  It worked for about 1 drive, then 
started getting sticky again.  I drained the tranny fluid, and refiled it.  
Bently says 2.1quarts.  I was only able to get about 1.5 of castrol 80/90 in 
before it started leaking out of the fill hole at the bottom.  The shit that 
i pulled out was pretty black and burnt smelling.  I capped it off, and it 
seemed to shift ok.  ON my way to work this morning, i found that it wasn't 
shifting as well as i had hoped.  If i reved the engine, it would pop into 
geer no probs, but if i didn't, sometimes it wouldn't go in???  As i got 
closer to work, it started working better and better.  When i finally got to 
work it was working fine.  It seems like it needs to warm up or 
sometning????  I don't know if its gonna do it again on my way home or not.  
Is there some trick to drain the tranny fluid?  I tipped the car up on the 
side when i drained it.  Is there some aux fill hole at the top of the 
tranny?  Anyone experienced this before?

Question 2:  I was told that the transfer pump inside the gas tank that 
seems to be causing my fuel pump to wine and the car to spit and sputter at 
full throtle, is a vw recall.  So how do i go about getting it replaced for 
free???  Especially when my stealership won't take any "NEW" customers for 
these "OLDER" cars! ;)
