90 model 90 quattro 20v - transmission problem ?

[mvollmer@csc.com]

Folks,

While driving home on the weekend, my quattro jumped out of 5th gear into
nuetral.  I thought it was rather odd, and carefully put it back in 5th and
continued on, only to find it happen again.  It seems when ever I let up on the
accelorator, the transmission will shift to nuetral.  This is the case for all
gears.  I called the local audi dealer, they suggested the synco,  but wouldn't
I have problems shifting from gear to gear if this was the case?  Is this just
their attempt to rebuild my transmission? Is there some type of detent spring on
this transmission?  If so, where is it??

Any help, suggestions on where the problem lies would be greatly appreciated.
