Re: Urq Gear Selection Repaired !!

Rene and Other Audi Brains Trust:

Its amazing what an extra pair of hands can do.  All I had to do was get
the injector fan ducting out of the way, and I was able to get a hand in
to attach the linkage side and then used a couple of ratchet extension
to reach down to the anchor side and tapped it on.

The difference is scary!!  We also discovered that the plastic covered
plate that stops selecting reverse when changing from 5th to 4th was
bent and straightened that out.

Thanks to all those who helped!!

Cheers,

John C.
