Default PDK Not Shifting

Ok so now as to the issue's I have had tonight my car would not shift in PDK drive. While in manual shift when I put back in drive it was stuck in 3rd and then at the light it wouldn't shift out of 1st. I attempted to video but wife was pissed and video didn't take! WTF? Now wife says that Porsches have issue's but I reminded her about the Audi Allroad that Audi bought back from us and suggested we get rid of her Q7 and buy her a Nissan!

You're not in Sport Plus mode are you? Sport Plus will only shift at redline, if I'm not mistaken. Will the car go all the way up to redline and just stay there screaming without shifting?

No not in sport plus since it wouldn't shift at all! Unless for some reason the PDK thought it was in sport plus I guess. The last issues were with the PDK being in Sport and then taking itself in and out of the suspension setting randomly.

If the PDK shifter is misaligned even a little by not being fully parked in the right spot it will screw up the shifting. There are magnets that are aligning when it is engaged and they have to meet correctly or it won't shift.
