Description of the problem	I had transmission problems on my 2006 vw beetle which only had 90,000 miles. Between 2nd and 3rd gear it would slip and then jump into the gear. This happened when accelerating and decelerating. I had to stay at least a car length back when stopping at a signal light just in case it jumped and hit the car in front of me.
