Checking the gearshift lever adjustment (Audi Q5-8R)

Start the engine. Press the clutch pedal. Shift through all gears several times. Engage the reverse gear lock (move the gearshift lever down) and set the gearbox lever to the left stop on the reverse gear track. Move the gearbox lever forward to the reverse gear position. In this case, do not apply lateral force to the lever to the right or left. Check whether reverse gear is actually engaged, and not 1st gear. If 1st gear is engaged instead of reverse gear, the gearshift lever is too far to the left. Adjust the adjustment. Disengage reverse gear. Engage 2nd gear by applying increased force to the left on the gearshift lever. If the lever jams when engaging 2nd gear, this means that it is too far to the right. Adjust the adjustment. Reverse gear should only be engaged after the reverse gear lock is disengaged. The gearshift lever should automatically return from the reverse gear slot to the 3rd/4th gear slot. If the lever catches when the gear is re-engaged, repeat the gearshift mechanism adjustment. Install the noise-insulating casing. Install the gearshift lever handle together with the cover.
