98 b5 2.8 automatic
Ok guys I have an 98 b5 quattro 2.8 automatic that will only reverse. When put into drive or tip tronic it will only rev and thats all. Have anyone experience this or does anyone know what might cause this.
this started happening after a transmission fluid change and a tune up from a mom and pap shop. Had to drive 2 miles on back roads in reverse to get home.

First thing to check is the linkage. There is a bowden cable set up that links the shifter lever to the trans. There are two bolts that hold a bracket to the trans...any chance those are gone and the cable just isn't pulling very much?

problem fix after checking the connection on the transmission which was loose car finally got into PRND432 but one big problem when I put gear into drive I felt big jerk car began smoking like crazy and then shut off. Now I know for sure I need a transmission. What transmissions are compatible with the DRN transmission.

Did you lose your fluid? Where was the smoke coming from?

Car was hot had it on for awhile before I got it to go into Drive and have the cluster recognize that its in drive. It sounded like it was slipping and couldn't catch before it shut off and now it no longer reverses. Cant even get it to go into neutral.
