My automatic audi 500 sel doesnt shift gears - Audi Cars & Trucks

Try the row of large switches above the radio. It is most likely the middle one.

Is it a manual or automatic gear model? If automatic, are you sure it is engaging in gear? If you have a broken or lose shift cable, the gear handle is moving but not putting the car into gear. Try putting git into reverse? If that works, you have some other issue and will need to have the car looked at by a qualified mechanic.

If it is a manual shift model, get a mechanic to look at it.

AS an auto tech, I would return it immediately to the engine rebuilder if it is still within warr.

Im sure they are a sealed unit so you cant check oil. You will have to take car to automatic transmission person. It should be fine tho

According to Pennzoil... They reccommend 15W-40W Synthetic. Or 10W-40 regular motor oil. But honestly, I'd call an Audi Dealer and ask, or check the owners manual, if you have it.

Check the hand book under specifications and quantities. Check with the dealer service division or In cool climate 15w-30 or hot work 20w40 . You will find a catalogue in the auto spares shop with the recommended oil for your car.

May be the clutch master or slave cylinder. Has the fluid level gone down at all? Have a look around the clutch pedal area for signs of fluid leakage. Good luck, Bob.
