Is it true that an odd number of electrons in an atom means there is a net magnetic force for that atom?
For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/GEPUk Either your transmission is starting to go out or the Transmission control module (TCM) isn't working properly I would scan the ecm for any trouble codes. We had an A4 Audi come in with a similar problem it didn't cause the check engine light to turn on but it had stored codes for the TCM found out it ad a bad TCM changed it out and it shifted normally good luck
I have a 99 Jetta - (just hit 199,000 miles!!) - At about 80,000 miles I also had similar issues. though my vw eventually got stuck in reverse and we had to force it out, causing me to lose 1st and 2nd gear (Ever try to get up a hill in 3rd gear? Not fun) The dealer replaced the transmission. 3 times yes, THREE times In the end, my linkeage (sp?) was off and just needed to be realigned. (Had them replace the clutch while they were in there) Anyway, all that just to say I feel you. I HATE my car and love it so much at the same time. What the hell is with these Vdub's? I've gone through 3 catalytic converters about 5 O2 sensors, 2 fuse relays, 3 EGR valves, multiple electrical problems, a/c problems/leaks and that's just the icing . *Sigh* but I just can't get rid of her. btw - check engine light is on AGAIN. :(
An odd number of electrons in an atom does contribute to the ability of a material to become magnetized, but that's not all there is to it. The magnetic moments of the valence electrons need to be aligned in the same direction. Some materials are attracted to a magnetic field. These are called ferromagnetic. Other materials are slightly repelled by a magnetic field. These are diamagnetic. Still other materials are not affected one way or the other.
