Default Gearbox Malfunction

2012 A4 Avant drives perfectly, shifts smoothly but continues to have "gearbox malfunction" display, even after $750 trans fluid change. If I start the car in neutral and then shift to drive, it doesn't display gearbox malfunction alert. If I start the car in park and drive away the alert comes on right away. Thus, I suspect its a sensor problem.
Indy wants $4000+ to pull trans and repair.
Please help!

did you ever get help for your issue? I have the same challenge on 2009 B8. Bought it from Japan with a gearbox malfunction error.

No, I'm just driving it and ignoring the alert, because the car runs and shifts as its supposed to. The price to repair it is way too high for me.
