my release button, that you would use to bypass the shifter button if the button failed dont do nothing, i have to slam my hand on the shifter knob to get out of park.
but once its in drive i have to push the shifter button to get to reverse or park.
its only frozen when in park, after i slam it and go into gear it works.
are you saying that you have the shifter button rigged to stay down all the time? now that would be scary i must say.
