hey guys im having a problem in my b5 audi a4 triptronic. whenever i go left my car automatically goes into triptronic mode. the shifter feels really loose. ive already changed the mat and i tried to look in the shifter to see if anything looked broken, but i didnt. anyone know what holds the shifter in drive please let me know

 

it just goes in w/ out u touching it/???

 

not familiar with tiptronic trannies at all but theyres probably some sort of stop that has broken inside the tranny. i know that when in park theres just a little metal lever lookin thing as wide as my thumb and about 1/8" deep and thats all that holds the car. so my guess is theres something like that which holds the shifter in D.

 

spring loaded I would have thought?

 

no biggie, put it in S if u have it.

 

Yes it is a spring - I just checked it out in AESIS and thats what it looked like. best thing to do would be to take it in to the dealer or a local euro mechanic - don't know what the upper assembly of this spring will be. If you truly would like to know how to remove everything I will take the time to build you a proper DIY with diagrams and instructions but you'll have to ask nice

 

thank you buddy i would really appreciate it if you could or built me a DIY for this problem. i have been trying to fix this problem for a long time but no one had been able to truly help me. if you could do this i would appreciate it thanks
