Default Help!!! Cant shift
Yesterday while driving my S4, I couldnt shift.
I could not dissengage the gear. When I put the clutch down, the RPMs go down as normal, but can not move the gear shift. After checking the fluids, the fluid resevoir that has the green cap is near empty. Could this be part of the issue. If so, what type of fluid is required to fill this?
TIA,
Bryan

Green cap = power steering. Better hope your PS pump isn't shot.

Try the S4 forums, but it sounds like the slave cylinder.

Default Do you have a short shifter that you installed? It could be as simple as one of the allens came
loose, and the low fluid is something else.
