[antinora]

i hope you guys can help..

i got a gti mk2 ...my car is an auto ... bad choice there..

as of late my car seems to have trouble in 1st/2nd, it sorta splutters between them sometime..

today when i was braking and came to stop the car was idling funny and then revs dropped and car stalled... WIERD!!

do you guys have any help or suggestions of what it is ??

ps. another q... howmuch woul dit cost to get manual conversion ?

The best thing IMO for you to do is the manual conversion

Could be a number of things from gearbox gone to transmission oil is poo.

Also could be your leads and plugs when there gone they could also cause those problems.

alright.. thanks man.

i hope its not expensive

[DubSteve]

Transmission oil change is like 40 bucks, new leads and that I have no idea maybe around 200 bucks but don't quote me.

i duno if the stalling would be a gearbox problem. has it only happened once? in the mean time you could give the throttle body a clean. could be clogged up with junk and restricting air flow.
