Stuck in park! Cant push shifter button!

**01STOCKGTP** · 04-04-2011

im pretty sure i don't need to push the button and can just push it forward when driving. I put the parking brake on while in drive and could just push it on forward into reverse then park with no button....

scary!

regals rule...just kidding

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.

Ya it was real simple to do. I took out the center counsol and simply looked what the shift lock release button was doing. it pulls out the white plastic disc on the cable allowing you to push the knob button and shift like nothing was wrong.

It is kinda scary. Car off, Keys out, I can put it in any gear even without using the brake.

This is the whole reason i posted this to see if im a complete idiot for disabling this safety feature... no doubt it isn't strickly legal

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.
