SOURCE: 1995 Audi A6 won't go past seond gear

one reason for stuck in 2nd gear its anti theft if u have remvd fuses and replaced it takes it as tampering and the computer has to be reset which costs at audi agents but i got from autoelectrician that if u disconnect battery for ten minutes then re connect it re sets the onboard computer i had same problem and ive done it twice with mine with success could be same with yours try it its so inexpensive

You need a new inhibitor switch on the gear selector.

SOURCE: shift lock light stays on in drive

sounds like something might have gotten into the shifter mechanism. several things could get in there like the accordian strip around the shift handle, coffee or soda could be spilled in there,....ext. another possibilty is the shifter cable going bad . I'd disconnect the shifter cable from the tranny and see if it all moves free then, if not any better take apart the shifter itself and see whats making it hang-up.

When I turn on my car Audi a6 2004 it won't let me go from park to drive why is that

could be the switch in the braking system that must be engaged to shift out of park is broken or non functioning because of wiring or sensor not working. When Audi got in trouble with the un-intended acceleration issue, they installed this safety feature so that your foot had to be on the brakes before it would shift out of park.

My audi A6 2.5T has been parked for about a month. Everything was fine when we parked it, but when I got in to drive it, I put my foot on the brake and pulled the handle from park to the drive position...

NO, it may be the linkage from the shifter to trany that broke off, or a bad selector switch that tells the trany and yoiu what gear you are in, there are a lot of electrionic in an audi so if that switch is bad it would cause this problem, also the linkage is very important, if you move the shifter and the cable is not connected to trany then the trany will not move its like you never left park,

Audi a6 quattro 1.8t It says press clutch pedal to start engine on dash, but its automatic/tiptronic.

The shift needs to be in park or neutral to start. to shift from neutral with the engine running, you have to touch the brakes. Can't explain the label on the dash, unless it has been replaced.

Since it is electronically programmed, it is best to
