Selector Mechanism
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2017 Audi S3, 2017 Audi A3 Quattro, 2016 Audi S3, 2016 Audi A3 Quattro, and 2016 Audi A3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
In contrast to the automatic transmission, the selector lever position is no longer transmitted mechanically to the transmission via the selector lever cable and Multi-Function Transmission Range (drive position sensor). Selector lever positions and shifts are transmitted via a separate control module in the selector mechanism function unit to the transmission control module via the CAN-Bus. The shifting occurs without a cable. The selector lever cable is mechanically brought into the park brake in the selector lever position "P".
