A4 Trans won't shift...
It drive but the transmission stays where the gear is shifted. Put it in D and it will stay there; same when place in 3,2,1 or R. This is my friends 1997 Vette A4 Coupe with over 65k miles. Any thoughts or ideas are appreciated. Thanks!

Check the fluid - yes you have to get under the back of the car. No dip stick!
Normal A4 operation:
1 - car stays in first - can bang it right up agains the rev limiter will not shift.
2 - starts in 2 and again it will not shift.
3 - starts in first, shifts to second depending on trottle position and RPM, same for 2-3 shift. Will not go into overdrive and Torque convertor won't lock up under normal operation.
D - shifts from 1-2 and 2-3 and 3 to Overdrive and torque convertor will lock up when not accerlerating.
So, want is your buddy's doing or not doing right?
