What are the most common issues with the Volkswagen Passat's transmission?

I've been noticing some odd behavior with my Volkswagen Passat's transmission lately. What are some of the most common issues that owners have encountered with their Passat's transmission and how can I avoid or fix them?

You may have a faulty transmission control module. It's important to have it checked and replaced if necessary.

It could just be a simple as needing a transmission fluid flush or changing the transmission filter. Make sure to stay on top of routine maintenance for your Passat.

If your Passat is experiencing jerking or slipping while driving, it could be a sign of a worn out torque converter. Have a professional inspect and replace if needed.
