suspect valve body

2003 cayenne turbo

hi guys it seems that I gave the dreaded transmission valve body problem ,she changes hard from 4th to 5th on heavy acceleration ,does anyone know where I can purchase a new one ( refurbished ) or I understand that maybe changing the switches might fix the problem ,as usual any help gratefully received ...

As I understand you have up shift problem?

How is with your down shifts?

I just changed my valve body, but I had problem only with down shifts.

I think it's better to buy new one, or refurbished which were tested on specials machines, so they 100% working right. I don't think that valve body repair could be DIY job.

That is just mine opinion.

hi thanks for the fast reply I have had my cayenne for over a year it has been happening since I purchased it is very hard downshift when using a heavy foot when I release the power it gives me a jolt I have been reading a lot of information about this but most of the companies dealing with this are in the us ,as I am stuck in Romania I would like to find a place closer..

Why not try an transmission oil change first, it might be a cheap solution.

hi everything I have read says that if the harsh changes are in high gears that it is the valve body ..

There is indeed much chance, but really expensive if you are not sure about it.
