tansupplyman Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 Just found something out today: if the battery is dead you can't get the shifter out of park. This might be bad if it occurred and you had a roll-back pull the car up from the front--could it break the park-paw?--not sure--but wanted to post. Got hit in the rear this week [you should have seen the 2003 Lincoln!!];it dove down and went up under the Lexus. Anyway,trunk light wouldn't go out and battery went down. Knocked the trans. shifter position indicator out of sync.[in drive indicates neutral]--but dash indicator OK--having trouble finding that prob. in the shop manual. Also, does anyone know of a dealer(US) that has the gold plated exhaust tips-mine are damaged and dealer says NLA--Can't go to the gold site advertiser to get-in England !!.

SKperformance Posted August 10, 2003 Share Posted August 10, 2003 there is a little black nub beside the shifter base pop off the tab and there is a slot push your key into the hole and the shifter will release the lock i doubt it might be abel to damage the parking pall lock on the tranny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
