Default RS6 Gearbox - No reverse

Hi there,

i was chatting to a helpful mechanic at the local garage and he said he was looking at my gearbox (A8 4.2 D3) as it was the same/similar to an RS6 he was having a problem.

He said that forwards was fine, but no reverse gear, which sounds a little odd when i've experienced limp mode with the ZF gearboxes.

He seemed a little stuck with some of the local gearbox places not being interested, so i said i'd do some digging. Irritatingly i've not got the model and year on me, but i'm guessing someone here at least knows the odd pointer.

Based Peterborough/Cambridge area

thanks,
Lee
