B5 S4 Transmission Question/Problem...

[dm3nace]

I was driving on the highway and all of a sudden I couldnt get my car into gear at all.. Clutch felt perfectly fine but could shift into gear at all.. I turned off my car to see if I could shift into any gears and at first, I couldnt shift into any gears but after a few seconds i guess it loosened up and i was able to shift into all the gears and was able to drive home without a problem.. I had this problem like 2 months ago and drove fine ever since but it happened again tonight? Can this be a bad pressure plate or a bad clutch slave cylinder?? I want to diagnose the problem before I bring the car to the shop and spend like $400-$500 to have them take apart the transmission..Thanks!

It sounds like the slave. The same thing happened to me intermittently. I bled it, and it works fine now (knock on wood). If you end up needing a new slave, I have one I bought but never ended up using since the problem solved itself.

I was thinking slave cylinder too.. I guess thats the cheapest thing to check first so ill do that first thing in the morning..

my car officially died on me.. cant shift into any gears at all when the car is on.. When I turn the car off it can only switch to 1st, 2nd, 3rd gear... I was able to drive back home on 1st gear only.. I need to get the car checked up.. any good local shops that can do the labor for a decent price? Im located in 11364.. Oakland gardens, new york..
