Replacement Gen 2 valve body for the Aisin 09G (TF-60SN) six-speed in 2005-2010 VW Jetta, Golf, Rabbit and Passat gas models without start-stop.
A 2005-2010 VW Jetta, Golf, Rabbit or Passat with the 09G six-speed automatic that shifts harsh between 2nd and 3rd or 3rd and 4th, flares between gears, clunks into reverse, or drops into a limp mode with a pressure-control or ratio code is a textbook case for this valve body. This is a Gen 2 replacement unit built with the small-style solenoids used on gasoline cars without start-stop, cross-referenced to 09G325039A and 09G325039AX.
The 09G, also sold under the TF-60SN name, is an Aisin AW-built six-speed automatic used across VW and Audi's front-drive gasoline lineup. The valve body is the hydraulic and electronic control center of the unit: it routes line pressure to each clutch pack through a bank of linear solenoids, and the transmission control module uses those solenoids to time every shift and manage torque converter lockup. Because the 09G leans on precise solenoid control more than an older, fully hydraulic design, bore wear inside the valve body shows up as a shift-quality complaint faster than it would on an older transmission.
Pull the stored codes and check the fluid first. A slip or pressure-control code with clean fluid and no clutch material in the pan points at the valve body or its solenoids rather than a worn-out clutch pack. Our valve body cleaning and inspection guide covers pulling the pan, checking the separator plate and testing the check balls before you spend money on a replacement unit.
This Gen 2 valve body uses the small-style solenoids built for gasoline-only 09G applications without start-stop, cross-referenced to casting numbers 09G325039A and 09G325039AX. Listed fitment is 2005-2010 VW Jetta, Golf, Rabbit and Passat and the matching Audi applications that share this transaxle. The 09G went through more than one solenoid generation across its production run, and a Gen 1 or Gen 3 body is not interchangeable with this one, so match the solenoid style and casting on your old unit, or send us your VIN, before ordering. Our 09G valve body with solenoids included is worth comparing if your current solenoids are also worn or you are not confident in reusing them.
Drain the fluid, drop the pan and filter, then unplug the solenoid harness and remove the valve body bolts, keeping track of the different bolt lengths by position. Fit this Gen 2 unit, torque the bolts evenly in the sequence called out in the service manual, and install a new filter and pan gasket at the same time so debris from the old body does not circulate through the new one - our 09G service kit with filter and ATF covers that part of the job in one order. The 09G is filled and checked through the level plug with the fluid between 35 and 45 degrees C and the engine running, not with a dipstick. If the transmission ran long enough to cook the fluid before you noticed the symptoms, a full 09G rebuild kit addresses the clutch packs and seals along with the valve body. Clear the fault codes and run the adaptation with a scan tool once everything is buttoned up, since skipping that step is the most common reason a good valve body still shifts rough for the first several drive cycles.

They use different solenoid styles and are not interchangeable. This listing is the Gen 2 unit with small-style solenoids for gasoline cars without start-stop. Match the solenoid style and casting on your old unit, or send us your VIN, before ordering.
Those are the VW/Audi part numbers this Gen 2 valve body replaces on 2005-2010 Jetta, Golf, Rabbit and Passat gas models and their Audi equivalents without start-stop.
Pull the stored codes first. A slip or pressure-control code with clean fluid and no clutch material in the pan points at the valve body or its solenoids, while dark fluid with metal content points toward a worn-out clutch pack instead.
No, this listing is the valve body casting with its small-style Gen 2 solenoids. If your current solenoids are also worn or you want everything fresh in one part, compare our 09G valve body with solenoids included.
