Transmission issue A friend of mine has a 97 Z28 A4. Coming home from work the other day his trans would not shift into 3rd and 4th gears, but 1 and 2 still worked.
When the gear selector is on "D", the car will shift fine through 1 and 2, but when it hits 3, it just revs like its in neutral. Same as 4th. There was one time, however, that I felt the car try to "catch" in 3rd gear, but that's it.
Anyone know what could cause just these 2 gears to go out? Thanks in advance for all replies.

I would spend the few bucks on the solenoid before going all out on the whole trans. (Few bucks is compared to the price of a rebuild, I'm sure it's still not cheap)
