I then asked them about adjusting the linkage, as Brad suggested (thanks again, Brad).
Leading evidence: 'Adjust linkage, as brad suggested (thanks again, brad)' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion).

if it was a hard fault something electrical you would most likey have a set of flashing tip indicator lights and maybe a check engine liight
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

A couple months ago I had an isolated event where I received a "gear not engaged" warning or something similar after shifting into reverse (the car was engaged in reverse and was moving) with the "4th" gear light flashing. Only happened that one time.
Now, on the drive into work today, I was stopped at a light with the transmission in 2nd. When I pushed the accelerator, the transmission acted as though it was in neutral (engine revved, but no car movement). Gear indicatior said "2". I shifted into "N", then back to "D", and all was normal again.
I made an appointment with my local dealer, but I am am hoping to get some input as to what might be the problem just in case the dealer has a tough time figuring it out. 99firehawk suggested a cable adjustment after the reverse incident (thank you Brad), and I'm thinking this could be a Tiptronic control module (computer) issue for the 2nd gear-neutral thing. Any ideas?

did you get the lingae adjusted?
Thanks Brad. I was waiting for something else to happen before I take the car in for service (just a little hassle in bringing the car in for service) -- and this incident is just that something. No flashing "4" indicator light this time. Sounds like both incidents may be related, since the first time the car was in "R" but it thought it wasn't, and this time it thought it was in "D" but it was actually in neutral. I'll let you know what they do. Thanks for the input.
P1702 (DTC 10) Supply voltage of valves
Control unit in limp-home mode, minimum cycle initiated
Potential Causes:
Short circuit to B+/ground or open circuit
Tiptronic control module faulty
We do try to put a lot of info online (at my site) but these G100 Tip codes I haven't got around to yet.
They come from the Tiptronic G100 Diagnosis section of the service manual.
Tippy -- About 7k miles. I took the car in for service. They found no codes, did nothing. I then asked them about adjusting the linkage, as Brad suggested (thanks again, Brad). It only happened twice over many months, and has been OK since.
Found the problem, you need to drive it more, it forgot that it was a transmission.
Naw, all jokes aside, hopefully the Techs will get it squared away. By the way, I have 93k miles on mine without issue, knock on wood.
