Good Day Patrick, thank you for the informative Video. Quick Question, the Foot Pedal red Light on the left of the gear selector Mechanism, why would it iluminate some times and sometimes not?
Great tutorial video! Thanks for sharing... I have a 2001 VW Passat V6 automatic and ended breaking the plastic piece trying to replace the shift knob. You know where I can find a whole assembly to resolve the issue and is it called or label as the automatic transmission/ gearbox? Thanks again..
Thanks for watching. I think its called "automatic transmission sifter assembly" Take a look at the one pictured in this link on ebay www.ebay.com/p/24030616134?iid=163603328124&chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=163603328124&targetid=882987571626&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9010759&poi=&campaignid=9248481261&mkgroupid=93494027426&rlsatarget=aud-298628318826:pla-882987571626&abcId=1141156&merchantid=8523484&gclid=CjwKCAjw3-bzBRBhEiwAgnnLCkr8lpkVTEP0ygqNkHhs7tTf-e9JX9ypzqnS727DbS10hoery7xPnxoCLYIQAvD_BwE I think both B5 (VW) and C5 (Audi A6/Allroad) platform use the same unit. If it look like yours then it probably work.
3:40 is that what is responsible for making the button spring back? My shift button keeps getting stuck in and I've had the knob off multiple times but no help. Hope someone can help!
No. There is no spring tension in that part. It's been a long time since I take one off, but I think there is a torsion spring and some plastic parts behind the button that keep it out. (Google "torsion spring" to see the type of spring I am talking about) If you remove the knob you can look at it and figure it out. Make sure when you pull up on the plastic piece, it retract by it self when you let go. Actually I think this is where the spring tension is. Let me know how your findings go.
@@pnswg01 OK Thanks! It will be a few days before I get a chance to look at it but will get back to you. It is actually the second gear selector and having trouble using either of them
Nice Video. I have a C5 S6, and the shifter lock solenoid seems to have failed - it was locked in Park. Do you know if the solenoild connector is unplugged from the gear selector, will the transmission be able to shift? Thanks.
Hi Patrick my Audi got a lock shift gear what I did I by pass that cable that connected to the gear so shift again drives.. question the cable is the one lucking my gear it keeps it in park..any suggestion or to fix it ? Thanks But I took of the cable work and runs fine what’s that cable for ?
I don't know if the bucket will slide out the bottom of the transmission is still installed. This info is intended for people who are snapping from auto to manual transmission. In that case the transmission is coming out.
The cable is used to control the transmission/gearbox. When you move the gear selector/lever it pulls and push the cable which is connected to the transmission below.
The Tiptronic selector circuit only has power when the key is inserted into the ignition. If you want to go through the trouble of resetting the clock and radio codes (some cars) then you can disconnect the battery. If removing the transmission...then yes disconnect the battery, otherwise there is no need to.
After removing the last 4 bolts, push the whole box down below on top of the transmission. It will be the cable and a plastic box. What you did above is simply disconnect the cable from the shifter assembly. Good luck.
Sorry about that. I didn't plan on making this video. After I start working, the idea come to mind, so I reinstall most of the parts removed and then make the video. I didn't bother to put back the trim because it is so easy to take off. That is the first instruction in the video. "USE A FLAT BLADE SCREWDRIVER TO REMOVE THE TRIM"
@@alespretor27 The car in the video is Audi C5 A6 Allroad. If you look at the video you can see the 2 metal clips that hold the trim in place. I remove these all the time...sorry.
Thankyou for the great video, my shifter needs adjustment now I see it can be done :)
Thanks for watching.
Where is this on a 99 A4 B5? I lost my key and need to put it in Neutral to move it.
Good job on the video. Very precise explanation. Thanks.
Thanks for your honest comment.
This was really helpful but how do you get the white part to stay up without going back down

Just doing some tinkering in the junkyard and need help - good video. You do a very good job of explaining how things go together.
Thanks

Too push it out the bottom of car what do you need to remove from under car
I don't know if the bucket will slide out the bottom of the transmission is still installed.

For what is that cable ?

thx a lot .
Bro disconnect the battery

Yeah Man! Thanks.
After removing the last 4 bolts, push the whole box down below on top of the transmission.
It will be the cable and a plastic box. What you did above is simply disconnect the cable from the shifter assembly. Good luck.
Yeah that work too.
How to remove fake wood cover? That's important step and you didn't show it.

@@pnswg01 it just snapped when I tried to do that. So I needed a new one.

@@pnswg01 come on man it is none of your fault. I was a bit impatient and that was it. and a little pissed off after that.. thank you
