0A4311562A Volkswagen selector f

This switch basically tells the transmission what gear you want. It handles the electrical signals that move things inside the gearbox – it’s how the car knows if you’ve moved the shifter to Drive, Reverse, Neutral, or any other gear position. It doesn’t make the car change gears, it just sends the instructions for it to happen. It also usually handles things like the park lock and the backup light circuit. Think of it as the central command for shifting. Everything starts with this switch. When you move the gear selector, it’s not directly moving anything inside the transmission. It’s sending a signal through this switch, and that signal activates solenoids and other components that actually do the work of changing gears. It’s a pretty crucial link in the whole drivetrain system. You’ll notice if this thing goes bad, believe me. Usually, it starts with erratic shifting – maybe it doesn’t go into the gear you selected, or it feels like it’s hunting for the right gear. Sometimes it’ll refuse to come out of park. In other cases, your backup lights might stay on constantly, or not come on at all. It’s one of those parts that, when it's working right, you don't even think about it. But when it fails, it can make the car undrivable or create a really unsafe situation. We’ve got a pretty good selection of these over at Fixparts Online if you want to take a look, and they're usually not too bad to replace if you’re comfortable with a little DIY work.
