A6 2.5TDi multitronic gearbox issues.

Hi there guys :)

Another problem with my lovely shed :)

Multitronic gearbox was working fine ish. I drove the car for a while with PRNDS flashing, when it got cold the connection with TCM seemed to fix itself temporarily (and it would drive perfectly fine until I turn the engine off). What happened tonight kind of puzzled me - after I slowed down to let a car go through, while pressing the accelerator the car shook quite wildly actually, and it felt like the gearbox was kicked into neutral. She's done it once before, but all I had to do is literally stop and shift through the gears (to Park then back to Drive) and it went off fine. This time however I managed to roll it to a bus stop, and she just lost all drive. Gearbox is locked when in Park, however Drive, Sport, Reverse and in the manual shift mode it feels like it's in neutral. When I shift it into R it gives me a little nudge (always used to do that when going into R, this time the nudge is weaker though), but she isn't moving at all back or forth.

I am going to try and plug it into VAGCOM when I finish work, but in the meantime I have two questions:

1. Has anyone ever had this kind of an issue and what could it be?

2. If i was to buy another multitronic box could I sort of DIY fit it in myself on axle stands?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated guys, I'm kind of in a dot right now...
