    Suddenly no reverse or 4th in A555

    Everything seemed fine prior to..., and on the test drive after, putting brakes on the front. So I park it. Then 1 1/2 days later I get in to go to work and no reverse. Shifter moves into the proper position for reverse but let out the clutch and you're moving forward. But as for 4th, seems missing altogether, shifter will not move into that position.
    Recent car woes remind me of the old Morton Salt Company commercial... "when it rains, it pours".

    I would inspect where the cables hook up at the front of the shifter bracket in the car. I would also check the cables themselves to make sure they didn't split and allow the inner piece to come out of the sleeve.

    You where spot on man. The retaining clip had popped off the cable end on the left side. Thanks.
