I hate to post this... but I got in my '13 T3 TDI and not even out of my drive way the transmission just stopped going (I was going maybe 2-4 mph when it happened). Engine revs but it doesn't go. Transmission had a very slight noise just before it stopped working like a metal on metal sliding sound. I can move the lever between R, N and D. But with engine running I can't go into Park at all with engine running. I can go into park with the engine not running.
When in R the R symbol on the gauge cluster flashes between - and R. So I'm guessing there's a shift fault of some type. It almost seems like the clutch packs aren't engaging for some reason.
To ask the dumbest of questions is there a trans dipstick to double check that I'm not oddly low on fluid (never see any leaks or puddles but its worth a check / ask)...
As I'm at 99,000 miles I'll be calling the dealer and hoping it's covered under warranty. But I'm just curious if anyone has ever run into this problem before on a T3.
I've never not seen one go into gear.
