sounds like the magnet to me, only one way to find out - take it apart

Does the actual shifter move when you turn, or is it just that the car goes into tiptronic mode. If it is the latter, most likely the magnet sensor has shifted or fallen loose. You may not need to order any parts. Open it up and see what has fallen off.
