Audi A8, 1997, 220.000 km. Problem: after 2 hours of highway speed, exit, stop at light, and at the following start it jumps directly into 5th gear with a "clonk". "PRND432" and "CAT" lights up in the panel, and the gear cannot shift - it stays in 5th gear. Ignition off and start does not solve the matter. After 1-2 days of colling down the problem has disappeared again. What is wrong and what can be done?
Indicates a TCM problem
run the fault codes to determine the exact problem area
SOURCE: shift lock light stays on in drive
sounds like something might have gotten into the shifter mechanism. several things could get in there like the accordian strip around the shift handle, coffee or soda could be spilled in there,....ext. another possibilty is the shifter cable going bad . I'd disconnect the shifter cable from the tranny and see if it all moves free then, if not any better take apart the shifter itself and see whats making it hang-up.

I would suggest you check oil levels etc. Generally these cars suffer from the air mass meter / air sensor problems aswell as coil problems too. Did you ever get a solution to the problem?

judging by the amount of km it has done i would say the rpm drive is faulty, this measures the amount of rotation in the camshaft and shows the "revolutions per minute". when this goes faulty it stops the read out on the dial, so you want to be looking for a device that measures the speed that the engine is turning, if you have, replace it and it should solve the problem

check oil level in gearbox, if auto check fault memory, will go into emergency mode and stay in 3rd if there is a fault. gear position display will all light up.
