Browse 2006 Volkswagen Transmissions by Model
Pick your 2006 Volkswagen model to see exact fitments in stock. Not sure whether your car takes the turbo unit, or which ID code is on the tag? Text us your VIN and a specialist confirms the match.
2006 Jetta
Eight units and the widest spread in the year: manuals in 2.0L and 2.5L, plus six automatics across 1.9L, 2.0L and 2.5L. Each automatic pair shares a displacement and is separated only by its three-letter ID code.
2006 Golf
Four fitments: a 6 speed manual (2.0L turbo), a 5 speed manual (2.0L gasoline), and automatics with Turbo and w/o Turbo. No 2006 Golf listing names an ID code, so the turbo question decides the unit.
2006 Cabrio
Cataloged with the same four fitments as the 2006 Golf: 6 speed manual (2.0L turbo), 5 speed manual (2.0L gasoline), AT Turbo and AT w/o Turbo. Confirm the badge on your car with us before ordering.
2006 Rabbit
Three units, each identified by code and none by displacement: one manual (ID HGR) and two automatics (ID HRM and ID HFU) — the same two codes the 2.5L Jetta automatic carries.
2006 Touareg
The only 2006 line stocked without a manual and without a 2.0L: 3.2L (ID HAM), 3.6L and 4.2L, each an automatic. Confirm displacement before ordering.
2006 Beetle/Bug
A single unit in 2006 stock: a 2.5L automatic, transmission ID HTU. One unit means one chance — send us your VIN early.
Why Buy a 2006 Volkswagen Transmission from Auto Power Source
Every 2006 Volkswagen transmission in our inventory is pulled from a low-mileage donor vehicle, cataloged by VIN, and held in our climate-controlled warehouse pending sale. Each unit goes through our six-step inspection — VIN-matching, shift testing, gear-engagement verification, full visual inspection, multi-angle photography, and palletized shipping.
Our ASE-certified technicians run every gear and verify engagement under load before any 2006 Volkswagen transmission is cleared for sale. 2006 is a year where the tag matters more than the badge: eleven of these 23 units are identified by a three-letter ID code, and on the Jetta that code is the only difference between two automatics of the same displacement. Not sure which one your car takes? Text your VIN and we will confirm.

2006 Volkswagen Transmission Buying Guide
-
Read the three-letter transmission ID code. Eleven of these 23 units name one — nine distinct codes (HAM, HBQ, HFU, HGR, HQN, HRM, HTU, HUT, HXU). On the 2006 Jetta the code is the only thing separating two otherwise identical automatics of the same displacement.
-
Decide automatic or manual first. Sixteen of the 23 units are automatics and seven are manuals. In 2006 stock the Touareg and the Beetle/Bug are automatic-only, and only the Golf and Cabrio manuals state a gear count.
-
Settle the turbo question on the 2.0L. The 2006 Golf and Cabrio each list an AT Turbo and an AT w/o Turbo, and their manuals split the same way — the 6 speed goes with the 2.0L turbo, the 5 speed with the 2.0L gasoline. They are not interchangeable.
-
Tell us the badge: Golf or Rabbit. 2006 is the model year the Rabbit name returns to North America for the fifth-generation car, and both badges are cataloged here. They are not cataloged alike: the Rabbit units name an ID code and no displacement, the Golf units name displacement and no code.
-
Always run the donor VIN if available. We provide it on request for any 2006 Volkswagen transmission in our inventory, so you can verify mileage and history before you commit.
Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any transmission ships.
