As for your case, your shifter bushing is probably worn out and not letting the shifter move the linkage far enough forward to select the parking brake. Wiggle the shifter back n' forth, if it has more than a tiny bit of slop to it then it's time to replace the bushing.
THIS and/or THESE. |
yeah - I've heard that one before - makes sense... I started using it all the time when I noticed the 'P' was rolling.
the shifter is definitely worn - in fact when I shift from '2' up to 'D' (seems to accelerate quicker that way) I need to over shoot 'D' just a bit before it shifts - guess that is another problem?
I can afford both of those items!! hope easy install.
