Out for a drive today in my 1998 3.4 tiptronic, everything absolutely normal but then as I went round a left hand corner and accelerated the engine revs went high/screamed and I lost all gears and had to coast to a stop. No warning lights, engine starts and runs okay but it just won't engage any gears including reverse and no difference on manual.
The gear selection does show on dashboard but it's just as if it was in neutral or what you'd expect with a clutch depressed. Where it happened I did not find any oil on road or other debris from my car. Because it happened on a Sunday I had to have it recovered back home.
Has anyone any ideas as to what may be the problem and do you think I would be best putting it into a main dealer or would a good independent be the best bet?
Thanks in advance.
Update
Turns out it was the main input shaft broken and then debris into the valve body.
