Default 99.5 Auto A4 wont go into Park......

Car shifts fine otherwise, but will not go into park.

Tranny fluid could use a change, but I doubt that would be the cause. Any ideas?

I have to park it in neutral and leave the key in the ignition just to be able to drive it.

Thanks,

The only physical link there is to the ignition switch. It's all electronic otherwise.

Ok, just threw it out there, hence the "?" after "Linkage adjustment?"

Default There is a cable from the shifter box to the transmission and it can be adjusted.

There is also a cable from the shifter box to the ignition cylinder, but that would be suspect if you could get into park but couldn't get the key out.

More likely his ignition switch broke, as mine did the same thing.
