Re: 270,000 Mile RS6

Re: RS6 Gearbox dropping into neutral

My garage didd the check so i do not know. They did the engine recon and farmed the gearbox out. I will ask them tomorrow. They do use this but they have a more up top date system which is Audi approved. The car is going in tomorrow so they can take a sample of the fluid.

The lever is still in drive and you either wit unt...
