Very hard to put car in Reverse
The other day it became very hard to but it in reverse. Its like a very strong spring or something is trying to keep it out of reverse. I use my knee to help me push it over far enough. It goes in to reverse and doesnt pop out or anything. I am planning on rebuilding it myself within the next couple months but just wondering what happened. thanks for your help.

Re: Very hard to put car in Reverse
sometimes air in the hydraulic system can cause this, mine was terrible to get in reverse before the new MC, and I bled the system. Probably not as easy of a fix as checking the lockout, but if that doesnt work you may need to bleed the system.

Re: Very hard to put car in Reverse
Here's one for ya.
On a dyno session, my PCM was fried so they put in a PCM from an A4. Now I have the same problem as above. My guess is the computer is confused. I have SES P1810 and SES P0753. No blown fuses and the solenoid I'll check tonight ( although it was working fine prior to the swap ). I even disconnected the battery thinking the PCM was locking out the reverse, but it still happened with no battery. I'm getting my M6 PCM back this week, but I thought I'd share. FWIW.
