ok its a 97 A4 2.8 auto quattro.... shifter floats and stays in neutral no matter what position its put in ......and also how do i find the code for the tranny

 

ok well thats odd so many views but no input from anyone...anyway everythings fine from the shifter down so its internal..maybe the damn little fork on the shift valve

 

is there anyone with knowledge on these cars on here or just people that like to drive them because this has to be the worst site for input....i mean gees 41 views and absolutely no input com'on guys these sites are set up to share input and know how .....look at my new paint job and interior LED lights

 

ok well since im the only one thats going to post .......the kicker to my issue is theres ZERO CODES poppin up ?????????? what most techs would consider a major issue but yet NO CODES ???????? guess i'll have to drop the tranny and go into this blind

 

First off, welcome to the site. Second, chill out - there's over 100,000 registered users here and a lot of guys contribute. No one knows if they can help until they read the post, and everyone who reads it adds a "hit". Followup posts like the ones you put up tend to turn people away rather than get them to help.

It sounds like there's a problem with the pickups that tell the computer what position the shift lever is in. It could be under the shift cover, or it could be damage to the harness that transmits the signal to the TCU. Could be the TCU itself (black box under the carpet in front of the passenger front seat). There's a lot of possibilities and it's time to get the car to a capable independent Euro mechanic (don't bother with Jim-Bob's Chevy Shop. They won't know a european transmission from a european transvestite).
