2005 A4 shift cable replacement
If anyone knows... is the A6 process the same as the A4?
My 2005 A4 shift cable broke while parking at work. Pulled center console apart, all looks fine. Jacked up with co-workers scissor jack, looked fine at tranny. Just won't shift into park. Moved linkage manually at tranny. Started and shifted into drive. Can't go back into N-R-P so I'm guessing cable is broke in between somewhere. I found the A6 step by step so wondering if the A4 is the same.

First time to check, yup. Then used a tire under drivers side when manually shifting. I did locate the problem when I got home. The "sheath" located at the shifter is broken allowing the cable to bend when trying to "park" it. Works great for shifting down though.
Time to order cable. Found them on Ebay for $57 from a dealership in New Orleans. Local dealer wants $86.
