Default Automatic Transmission only engages reverse

Hi guys!
Have a 96' 1.8 A4 with an Automatic transmission, which does not engage any other gear except reverse. Ran a diagnostic, but gave no errors. Not sure whether I can fine-tune the diagnostic with parameters to be more spesific....?

Anyhow, appreciate any input into the matter.

Sincerely,

X

Question

Are you depressing the brake pedal before attempting to ****?

Then I would look for a loose shift linkage.
Have you ever replaced the ATF and filter?
