Rs4 Auto Box Photos Wanted Please.

[Chris Wilson]

The wife has once again put her Stagea RS4 automatic in Park before it came to a complete standstill and jammed the park pawl in. Normally a bit of rocking of the car, to and fro, releases it, but this time she decided brute force on the selector lever was the answer and something under the car, in the linkage, has bent. I can see the cable is moving inside the car, above the tunnel, but underneath? Who knows? One can feel the friction of something moving, but not freely. the lever will select all gear positions, but the parking pawl remains resolutely in place... I suspect a bent cable or lever, but could do with a diagram or photo of the linkage at the `box end. so I know what I am letting myself in for tomorrow, as I can't get it into the workshop, and it will have to be done outside, on my back. I had to tow it up the drive with the back end on a trolley jack. Luckily this occurred at the gate, and not out in the sticks which is her route back from work. BLOODY women.... My FAST set up is not on my current PC, and I am not 100% sure it even had the RS4 Stagea on it anyway. Can anyone help please? Thanks.

Thanks for the pdf file! That's certainly useful, but still could do with a photo of a box out of the car showing the linkage as fitted. Much appreciated KiwiRS4T, thanks very much mate

Sorted now, the cable where it is anchored by the selctor lever on the `box had split. Pushing the lever forward worked fine, pulling it back, (especially when forced, if stuck in park....) resulted in the outer moving, and the inner staying still. Used cable on its way, thanks gentlemen!
