Default No Reverse

Started yesterday on my 09/03 S4. Still have under 6,000 miles on it.

Thought I had forgotten how to drive a manual, as I've been driving my Tacoma pickup a lot lately!

Dealer opens in 10 minutes, will call and make an appointment then.

Stock shifter.

Hope the dealer doesn't blame it on my aluminum pedals :-)

Default There's a TSB for this

I had the same problem (mine was from 08/03). They'll have to pull the transmission....

Yep, I had heard about the problem a year ago while browsing the board, but didn't follow it too much since I wasn't affected then.

Had a common tranny problem on my e36 M3 (shifter wouldn't spring back to the neutral position under 3rd gear), out of warranty but BMW split the cost for a remanufactured tranny, and now this...

My next car will be a Tiptronic!

Don't worry... it will likely be a DSG, since tips are on their way out at Audi...
