2006 Jetta - will not shift in to any gear!

[stefan]

Hi,
This is my sister's car. 2006 Jetta TDI, automatic. It will not shift in to any gear, and the gear display on the dash "P R N D S" is flashing. Any ideas??

Thanks!

Stick moves, just wont engage. Still possible?

Notoriously (sad to say) PRNDS Flashing is the first indication of a blown Transmission Control Module (TCM).

This is likely although the TSB i mentioned says there can be a wiring fault regarding the module as well. So hopefully there is a chance the module itself is still ok. Either way, they decided to tow the car to Cranbrook, so i'm sure they will figure it out.
