is this the multiswitch?

im pretty sure this is the 'multi functional switch' which is on the drivers side of the trans. i've searched the forum and found out if it gets wet or becomes loose the trans goes into limp mode where all the gears are highlighted. does this look familiar to anybody whose had this problem? thanks

sorry for the quality... camera phone

Why is it unplugged?

Hard to tell from the pic, but he harness you are looking for is round and has multiple wires in it, and the plug is even with a bracket just behind the drivers side front axle.

He could have the "bitch stick" non-tiptronic also. =-)

Remember, bitch stick just refers to an automatic, tiptronic really has nothing to do with it. The A4 came with a non-tiptronic automatic in both 1.8T and V6 early on. Yes, my car is one of those bitches! ugg.
