Sounds like it's in Limp Mode.
Does the dash gear display flash, or is it highlighted different to normal?
In Limp mode it will run in 3rd gear only in an attempt to minimise any damage.
You need to get it to a transmission specialist straight away.
May be as simple as low fluid, but you need to find out.

SOURCE: Audi TT

I am by no means a car expert. My experience is based only on past experience not just with my 2003 audi tt but other cars as well.

What you describe may be your transmission slipping. You should have it checked out asap before you need to have the flywheel cut--I had that happen on another car and it was very expensive to have repaired.

My tt also has some brake problems which cause it to stutter when I get close to a full stop.

The best of all though is the recall of our cars for replacment of the timing belt--according to my dealer a $1700 job.

Ouch, I suggest you check the fluid level of the transmission. If the fluid is OK, you need to ask around about a good gearbox repairer.

have you checked the brake lights for operation ?
if they don't work than it is your brake light switch located on the pedal support bracket.

2001 audi quattro tt had problem sometime changing gears while driving it would sound like gear box fell out. Wouldn't go back into gear. Kill the engine and restart gears would work. Why?

You need the transmission control module scanned for fault codes. I know the check engine light must be coming on when this happens, correct?

2001 audi quattro tt manual transmission starts in gear no clutch won't go forward

You have a worn out clutch disc so the transmission still has to come out to change it.

Gears seem to want to slip out and make a winning noise in certain gears too is my gearbox done for or is it more likely clutch it's Audi a3 with 130000 on the clock and clutch is very high too any...

gears slipping out will be indicated by the gear lever jumping into neutral.This can be from incorrect rear engagement from a loose worn pivot in the gear lever tower or something stopping the gear lever from moving properly.. Clutch problems are indicated by --going to the floor. crashing 1st gear, engines rpm s climbing without an appreciable vehicle speed increase. If there is a fault in the gear box it will be only in the gear engaged (missing teeth-chipped ) and not all gears. If it is a bearing then there will be no noise in 4th gear
Boxes are repairable as mostly it only needs that faulty part to be replaced

2004 a4 2.0 sport petrol,estate,automatic transmission.112 000miles the car does not move at all . also i cannot change the gear range 1,2,3,4,5,6 when pull the gear stick on the manual gear change section...

The first thing to do is to plug in a diagnosis machine and check for errors in the gear system. From my experience it could be a sensor in the gearbox or the ECU.
