Hey Guys, have a bit of a sudden problem that I need some help with (2004 A6 Tiptronic). I was doing some running around town and went to park and could not engage that Park Gear (actually could not move past the Neutral Gear). So I started to trouble shoot.
- When I went to push the button on the shift **** to engage, the shifter would not go past R to engage the Park. My foot was on the brake. Also noticed the the button remain in the 'depressed' position and did not spring out.
- I could move the shifter from D to N and into the tiptronic gears, but not into S.
- I cannot remove the key (cause it is not in P, I assume)

I read the TCM problem thread, but I do not think this is the problem because
- the PRNDS were not flashing
- No Check engine light
- The car ran beautifully (like always) as I put everything on hold, so the 'limp mode' was not engaged.

I am going to take it in to have it repaired (unless it is a real EASY fix), but it is always good to know what you are up against before taking it in. Would appreciate any help.

you should scan your tcu with vagcom and see what codes come out....

Just an updated, long over due.

Problem was jammed shifter mechanism in the shifter assembly (that's what I was told by the mechanic).
