I would have to check to see if I can see a difference.  In other words =
try to shift down, and if I feel resistance, slow down to see if it goes =
away.  I may have to speak with VW service because I am not speaking =
about downshifting to pass someone and experiencing the problem.  I am =
driving the same way when it does this as when it doesn't. =20

Speaking in general, when I downshift it is because I am slowing down =
and need to go to the next lower gear compatible with that speed due to =
traffic, making a turn, or a lower speed limit.  I am braking to slow =
down or easing off on the throttle, and not using the engine to slow =
down.  I generally am in 5th at 45-50mph, 4th at 40mph, 3rd at 30mph, =
and 2nd at 20mph.  I'm not sure off the top of my head what that =
translates to in Km/h.=20

Any insight, you or others on the list can give, is greatly appreciated.

>Shifting seems normal, on short trips. When it starts turning into a =
long
trip, down shifting gets difficult.  I have the clutch to the floor, and
when going down to 3rd or 2nd gear you feel the shifter bind up before =
it
gets into gear like it doesn't want to go.  If you push hard, it goes =
in.
Shifting up has never been a problem.  This has been happening for a few
months now.

At which speeds you try to downshift?. It's the normal behavior of a VW
transmission if you are trying to downshift going too fast. Speaking in
Km/h, If you try to get 2nd at 70Km/h , the transmission will not let =
you
until you brake to 60 Km/h, at this speed the gear goes in like butter.
Don't ask me why, but VW transmissions work the same since my first '79
rabbit until the last A3 I have driven. This have prevented me twice in =
the
past year to crack the transmission.
