Hello,

The past week my sister has experienced a problem with her 86 190e. She would shift the selector to Drive and be on her way, but when she's about to park or go into Reverse the gear selector won't move into R or P. She can shift it into N back to D and go down to 2. Then when she tries to go back to R or P the selector just stops solidly. Playing with it for a few minutes finally got it into R or P.

This has happened 4 times now in a weeks time. I have tried it myself have not been able to reproduce the problem. I looked underneath and the rod and bushings are fine; no slop at all. It seems as though something doesn't get synchronized occasionally and jams the selector.

Again it's a 86 190e 8V, auto transmission with 99K miles.

Any help would be appreciated...thanks!

Nolan
