EPJr Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Here is something I had to do.After I changed my motor mounts for some reason the shift lever was really tough to go into park. Put you car in park, climb under the car and loosen the bolt that adjusts the linkage. I believe it was 12mm. My linkage was in a slight bind and after I loosened the bolt it went back into it's eased position then I tightened it back up. This fixed my binding shift linkage. This might help you and on the other hand it might not. Does your shifter feel like it is in a bind when you throw it in park? JP when the key is out of the car, i can move the shifter freely, even without pressing the brake pedal. when the key is in the ignition, i have to press the brake pedal to shift out of park.

Bob987 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Though this is a few years after the problem was initially discussed I just had the same problem and it developed gradually. The problem was a faulty shift lock computer. I diagnosed and replaced it myself. Took some time to access the computer to test and replace since the location was a difficult inside the console.
