Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2006 passat 3.6 has had problems shifting in sports mode.. transmission will get stuck in 1st gear and not shift into 2nd.. the rev limiter will keep in because rpm's jump over 7,000.. not only is this going to cause transmission problems but it will also cause engine damage since rpm's are above normal and hit the red area(not safe).. *jb
