On my '88 the link between the cable and the shift rod at the A4 has a slot so that you can loosen the bolt and move the cable end fore/aft to align the shifter positions with the tranny internals.
If I reach under the car around the front of the driver's door I can feel this attachement point and reach the nut without jacking the car.
If the cable sheath head is loose at its bracket attachemnt point that is another issue.

All you need is a 15mm wrench. Loosen the nut and make slight adjustments. Easy
