Couldn't get my car in gear this morning
Sorry I posted this in a wrong forum here it is though.
Only had the car this summer and this was the first night it's got down into the 30s
It's a 98 Formula A4. I started the car up and no matter how hard I pressed the brake and pushed the button on the side of the gear selector, I couldn't get the car out of park. Went outside just now to try again and had no problem.
What causes this?
