That's exactly my concern....
that the linkage really is a problem with my specific car, and that it's not a problem that's inherent to the B7S4. I will pursue this until it's made right.

YGM!
And yes, I'm going to give the dealer a call tomorrow and get this thing resolved. The more I drive it, the more I'm convinced it's just not right. Damn, I want to LOVE this car....

As you may recall, mine does the same thing. It's not always hard to put in 1st, but
when it decides to do that, it's pretty darn hard and I have to put it in 2nd before sliding smoothly into 1st.

Shouldn't be that way ...
met with Service Manager this AM who assured me that the car would be made right - getting Audi District Service Manager to look at the car. It may need a new syncho, hopefully not a whole new trans, but it will be corrected. A fine German car shouldn't shift this way. I've had a slew of Audis, all manuals, and none of them shifted like this - including my '05 B6S4! Fortunately, the dealership has the same view as I do.
