Well I would say say the trans is not the problem but more like the transfer case or axle. I lean more towards the transfer case because the car will not move at all under its own power. The reason I asked if you had replaced any tires is with quattro all the tires need to be the same circumference or you will mess things up badly.

Does it make any noise when its being pushed in neutral?

Ok wats the transfer case where is it located and all of the tires are the same just that 1 has a leak I'm gonna swap my tires from my dads 90 cuz they are all the same and in excellant condition cuz he has after market rims but when I was pushing the car I had it on not off and in neutral and it made a little bit of noise not loud it was like a rubbing noise. I think this is all in result of me hittin a curb n this crappy restaurant drive thru I backed up on the curb a lil hard not horribly bad ( from the passenger side) and then after that I was hearing sum noises coming from under the front wheels and then that day the car stopped it pulled 2 the right(steering wheel)

Deff. some info that should of been shared in the beginning. I am going to take a guess and say that is the cause of your problem. Suspension damage = to many possible broken parts. (tie rods, wheel bearing, axle, etc...etc) I think its time to bring it in for inspection.

Lol yea I hope nothing huge no$$ for a mechanic 2 look @ it only $ for the parts some guy from craigslist has good prices so yea but prob axle I dunno as long as its not the transmission I'm happy meaning less work cuz if its ne of those other things that wouldn't be so hard and vag com wouldn't help me with this would it?

Vag com probably won't do much for you, if anything. It does sound like somethings broke. An inspection will take the guessing out of it. The part about it "wont move at all" still points to an axle problem.

I just got back from Laurel Audi in Tinley Park (getting some parts and basically, giving them more of my hard earned cash). Anyway, they had an R8 roped off on the showroom floor. $150,000 bucks !!!!!Phew.... The guy was kinda cool and actually let me and my kid sit in it!!!!. A checked my Mega ball tickets, left, got home and replaced my outside mirror switch. Maybe one day....
