I watched a old skotty kilmer video for no reasson, there was a part where he said that the mk 5 and up model years with non dsg has WEAK TRANSMISSIONS!
"having many problems"
I am guessing he is referring to the 09G's....

I can prove it is not weak, VW cannot help those who neglect maintaining these work horses.

If I don't upload a video of me redlining the auto, ask me then, but I do it on a daily basis, even after neglected, and then fluid replaced,
it is the strongest transmission, much more reliable than any other transmissions.
 
I notice that Scotty Kilmer never really fixes anything. How many years he has been a hack is irrelevant to actually being a modern automotive mechanic. Compare Scotty Kilmer to Eric Obrochta at South Main Auto LLC. and then tell me why anyone really cares what Scotty thinks. He's purely entertainment on the same venue as the Three Stooges . . . the foolishness is laughable.
 
Well, somebody’s laughing. He’s worth north of 10 million, and counting. Our appetite for entertainment of all kinds, and our willingness to pay for it, is inexhaustible.

This....

He's full of it, but he's getting paid, so he's not entirely stupid.

Maybe not the WHOLE transmission, but at least the valve bodies are a common weak point, with my MK5 Jetta being a victim. With 128k miles I don't think it should be wearing out. What are my cheapest replacement options? Used from a junk yard? What years and models do I look for?

You mean like allegedly working from his driveway and junky garage all those years - yeah, in a town that has 4 seasons and rains like mad in all of them …
 
VW manual transmissions were/are as bullet proof as they come. Like all manuals, the clutches would eventually wear out, but the gearbox itself was practically indestructible.

While true (in particular for the 02Q and almost any VW manual transmission that ever hit American soil), this thread is about the 09G, which is the Aisin 6-speed auto. Granted, the OP could have been more clear on that.

Watching a "Scotty" video is useless......
 
I was very happy to learn VW put an Aisin 8 speed in my new Atlas. That’s two Aisin Transmissions in the family. I’m not worried.
