I have tried different forums without luck so I hope someone can help me here. My Audi 80 has a gear selection problem that is a mystery to me, when I first start the car and it's cold I cannot select usually reverse/first gears, after a while when moving the gearstick about I manage to find third gear after this it will usually go into reverse, then when I get moving the gear change is like normal, but when I stop at lights etc it's difficult to put into first, until the car is fully warmed up then the gear selection is normal all the time. Also if I push the gearstick down as I think you must to select reverse it won't go in, but it will go in without pushing the gearstick down ( when car is hot ). I have changed the gearbox oil to mobilube vs 200 that cost me £70 here in Finland but has made no difference. It's a mystery to me why the gearbox selection is like this only when it's cold, can someone please help? Thanks for all replies!:sad2:
