This gearbox fault is due to the selector fork slider bearing having failed. When this bearing/slider fails, the selector is left unsupported in its guide bush and allows the fork to move in a lateral direction, opposed to its normally guided vertical motion. When the selector is in this state the mechatronic can not operate the selector properly resulting in no or poor gear selection. At this point, the misaligned selector can damage the gear position sensor on the mechatronic unit and will require the removal of the complete mechatronic for external remanufacturing.

The selector issue can be permanently resolved by installing the modified selector fork released by VAG group. This new OE part modifies the bottom and top slider bearings with solid plastic bushings. This also requires modification to the original casing of the gearbox.
