I'm having issues with my tiptronic shifting auto disengaging. The shifter doesn't actually move back to "D", but from the display panel I notice it's no longer in manual. Has anyone seen this and know what's causing this? Any help is appreciated. Note: I've just acquired the car and perhaps it's because I don't really understand how e-shifting works.

Where can I buy a 89 GS400? Is it all wheel drive?

any how.. tonight I actually noticed it is the shifter that is ever so slightly moving away from the 'M' position that is causing the e-shift to turn off.
I'm not sure if it's worn out , or if there is something I can tighten to make the shift into Manual stick, but it is definitely moving back over to the 'D' position just enough to turn off the e-shifting ability and still not be all the way over to 'D' which is why i didn't catch this originally.
Thanks for any assistance.
