Default A4 Shift Indicator

Last night I shifted out of park on my A4 and the it shiifted fine. But then I noticed it still said it was in Park.

Anybody know if this is a simple fix?

It could be fixable, but it's not easy. The pointer, which most likely is broken, is not a replaceable part. You must dismantle the shifter assy and "glue" the indicator back, which will break again if you use the car a lot. I've done this with some success but it usually comes apart again, like mine has numerous times.

Once you know how its easy. Use instructions for boot change out to get to the indicator and find the problem. The companies that sell them usually post instructions.

I have taken the console out to install the HUD, so I suspect it is similar. But I don't know the part assembly.
