[uaps]

Hi there just got a audi s4 b5 99 plate today, it does have some issues usuall things for its age i.e speedo display , a couple of warning signs airbag and brake but need to find out why the gears are a bit vague, when trying to select a gear it takes a couple of a attempts to find it or get it in. does anyone have any experiance with this??? guy did say selector rod had been renewed if this helps. cheers

S4 are a bit odd going 1-2 but it can be a shifter alignment problem jhm have a guide how to re-align , its the two hex bolts that hold the shifter rods to the shifter which can be accessed from inside the car . If that doesnt work then its a tranny rebuild.
