Audi B6/B7 A4 Automatic Gear Knob Shift Cover Remove

Just a short video I made going a little further into stripping down the automatic gearshift assembly on and Audi A4 B7.

Thank you for the amazing video! A small piece of plastic felt inside and thanks to you I opened it up the way you showed and got it out! You saved me so much $$!

To anyone who reads this, a quick fix to this, you put your car in reverse give it a little gas and slam on your breaks, I was having this issue and didn't have the time to fix it right then and my dad told me to try what I just said and it worked. If your having this issue give this a try for a quick fix

Well done good video.

[@ltroy790]

Have u got video how u put the magnit back in place ect

[@xxx_o967]

My button of the Shiftknob went completely in and I can't get it out at all. I guess it is connected to the white part and that's why it's stuck. I've tried high pressure air to get it out but it didn't work - do you have any recommendations?

[@LlamaOates]

The compressed air never worked for me either. I used 2 small flat blade screwdrivers. Use the first 1 to start leverering/rolling the spring load plastic cam back far enough the lug shows and you can get the 2 screw driver to get behind the lug and pull it back the rest of the way.

Thank you so much for the video, i believe you are going to save me a lot of money. I have that cover missing which car looks ugly. I have one question. My transmission tiptronics does not work, and I am going to jank yard to find the cover. Do you think if I change that board would make the tiptronics work?

[@LlamaOates]

That is a big question. My triptonics also died as a result of the bloody coin. Which I imagine damaged a chip on the circuit board. On a newer model I would probably say no chance as you probably need to get exactly the right matching part that matches the serial of the computer module that is controlling it but you might (might) get away with swapping over a board from any random matching A4 without having to match it to the controller module. I sold my A4 awhile ago now. Also check on Aliexpress as you can find aftermarket electronic parts on there too.

You put the car in neutral?

Where can I find a replacement because my plastic slider is all broken, any way to repair the plastic ?

[@LlamaOates]

Have you looked on eBay and AliExpress? Plastic can normally be melted back together with soldering iron but the slider plastic I am guessing would be too flexible to fix. I'd say you'd need to replace it. I am not sure what country you are in but in Australia we have a website findapart.com.au which many of the wreckers are part of and you can submit parts requests on it and get quotes emailed to you.

@@LlamaOates I found one here in the US… not just the slider but I have to buy the whole treadmill mechanism which is $150 lol oh well

[@hollyhubschman4898]

The last bit about how to put the button back on was exactly what we needed!!

[@aarsoul9860]

My roller got stuck

[@aarsoul9860]

Where can I get the whole set?

[@LlamaOates]
