[s-cars] transmission question - Audi A4

[Taka Mizutani]

Lee-
Any possibility that the shifter is simply seriously out of alignment? That
will
prevent you from getting the right gears (I'm currently having this issue
with
one of our medium-duty Hino trucks).

If it's a matter of R&R'ing the shifter, maybe replacing the bushings, it
shouldn't
be too expensive, but if you have a bent shifter fork internally or the
reverse gear
is seriously damaged, you're looking at a new transmission.

I looked at a '01 SVT Cobra a while ago that wouldn't shift properly in any
gear-
the shifter forks were mangled (PO was probably powershifting) and it was
fixed
by them rebuilding the transmission and replacing most of the internals.

Sorry I can't help any more than that, just two possibilities with extreme
variance
in price.
