5th gear & reverse gear lock
Anyone have experience with this device on an AEB Manual 1999.5 B5 A4?
I was having issues with a sloppy shift pattern, so I rebuilt my shift assembly with a new ball housing and set it back up per the Bentley Manual. Now I can't get into Reverse. I picked the brain of the mechanic at the Audi dealership and he has never had to work on such an issue (20 years working on Audis).
I have the metal shifter housing assembly not the plastic one piece of the later model B5s. I have adjusted the ball housing to pivot the maximum adjustment in order to try to get the reverse gear to engage to no effect. While going through the Bentley I read about the gear lock and was hoping someone that might have some experience with it could chime in.
