Thread: Stuck in park! Cant push shifter button!

Did you check at the soleniod for power! How about listening for a clicking from it!

Nab a picture of it! I've seen on my own car where teh white piece that would be pushed from above to release it can jamb up!

You still have to squeeze the release to shift it into Reverse or park. At least that's how mine is and I've had it rigged for 2 years now.

So as long as you can control the urge to throw it into reverse or park u should be good

ill have to look into this myself, i've been doing the slap chop on my shifter to pop the release down, the white button dont do dick to release mine, and ive had the console out 4 times since august and its been cold and i dont want to deal with it.

thank god the ignition release worked, friggin dead battery cough me off guard.

man im glad mine has reverse lock out, you need to push the button in to get it into reverse or park.

regals rule...just kidding

because im prty sure we all understand that mine is held open as is yours correct?

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.

ok then lol im going to pull mine apart and try to fix it the right way, i may have a wire pulled off or something easy, i've had the console off so many time i may have pulled something out of place and it worked it way off over time or something, thanks.

Regals do rule!

I pulled the white piece off ...or well..it fell off. Meanwhile my shifter works totally normal w/o it.

thanks bill. its getting warm out, ill have to dig into it and have a look.

C'mon man..it's at least 50 out... rainy and sucky..but all you gotta do is smile at the neighbors when you get outta the foggy window car. They'll wonder what you were doing in there.

My neighbors don't even bat an eye at that stuff anymore. They just accept whatever they see as "normal" for me.

im living in an apt building, they dont let anyone work on there cars in this lot, i was waxing my car and was told to do it else where.

since im here ive done a full tune up, full brake job , disks and all at stop and shops lot, replaced a heater core in the park, new power ports in pep boys lot, removed my struts at a friends house who lives around the corner from a front end shop to get new mounts put on, and so on lol its been a real trip living here, I MISS MY GARAGE DAMN IT!!!!!!!!

and now ill be doing side view mirror replacement due to some ass busting it for me!!!!

I'm a quick spin up the road from you. Stop on over if you wanna borrow one of the garage bays.

Close is relevant... I have friends that come from Ohio ....lol
