steve2006 Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Remove the wood effect panel from around the shifter and check for debris under it which may be jamming the shifter use a vacuum cleaner and a brush to remove any rubbish in there. There is also a shift override button in there so check it is operating correctly and not stuck up with an old soda spillage. As you know you have to depress the brake pedal to shift from park so try a little harder press.
