Vw 412 type 4 engine and gearbox problem

[Autostyle]

Hi there.

I have a vw 412 le fuel injection with an automatic gearbox. I have 3 problems that I need assistance with.

1) The car experiences a lack of power at low speeds,usually till 60km/h. This is experienced most when going uphill.

2) After some time of driving when I stop at a robot or stopping in traffic, the car switches off most of the time. The car does restart easily. However when I restart the car the car takes off very slowly.

3) The gearbox has a kick whenever i pull of or when the gear changes. I have checked gearbox oil and it was significantly short but the problem is still there after topping up.

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thanks

I dropped an answer to you on the Samba. I will repost the answer here as well so all can see it. Although it is a type 4 in general....it is 411/412 in specific and that is a lot of difference. I would move this to the 411/412 forum. Ray
