2013 Volkswagen Amarok transmission is vibrating between gears

The transmission of my 2013 Volkswagen Amarok is vibrating in between third and fourth gear when under load. Once it is up and running there’s no vibration.

You need to get this vehicle to a transmission specialist right away. There’s clearly something not right either mechanically or electronically with the gearbox, and continuing to drive it in its wounded state is a big chance to cause more damage than has already been done.

Any vibration in an automatic transmissions suggests either torque converter or internal problems. It may already be too late for your vehicle, and the damage may already be done. But the sooner you get to a specialist, the less expensive, permanent damage will be done.
