Well, that problem probably was the same as mine - gear selection sensor dieing inside the trans. That’s a transmission out and cases split repair. That sensor did like to die early, sometimes right before the warranty ends. AFAIK, both b8 and b8.5 had a tsb for that sensor, so b8.5 might not be a safe bet as some think. My car didn’t exhibit any characteristic dsg problems before that sensor quit, had no jerky shifts or gear engagement delay. Trans felt quite good until 10 miles after it stopped seeing if it’s in drive, park or reverse
