Thread: cant get auto tranny into park

hi last night the car was fighting me to go from reverse to park. i finally got it into park and then later when i went to go into drive i couldnt get into drive. after fighting it went and i drove home. now i cant get back into park. i can go into any other gear. i had a aftermarket shift know with the collar and removed it to make sure it wasnt the problem. i have a question is the white pointy piece suppose to go down into the shaft or touch its top cause to me it seems like that thing aint goin down enough? hope some one with a auto can help thanks.

has this problem JUST started? or was it acting up before like this? any past probs with getting it into gear?

no just started. yesterday the fluid line for the tranny blew so i pulled over and fixed it on the side. it seemed fine then and then last night at the end of the day outta no where it did it.

does anyone know if the white angled part should go down into the rod or if it rests on it. and is there anyway to bypass the button and get this thing into park? well i am gonna go play with it be right back...

ok checked the fluid and it was low filled it and went through all the gears cept park, we know why right? anyway filled it again went through again stayed full. so now i notice when i press the brake pedal i dont hear a relay click. i should right well i am gonna search the fsm for the relay. any ideas?

Maybe your brake light switch is bad.

this is why u shouldve gotten 5 speed

are you leaking?

not leaking. just blew that line yesterday and i guess hadnt checked. rob i am gonna call you about the brake light switch. thanks will update.

ok the car is all back together and done. it turned out to be the stupidest thing so hopefully anyone else with this problem finds this... you know that white angled piece that pushes down? well good ole aftermarket shift knob threaded it down more then it should of so it was hitting the shifter rod thing way before it could engage. so i guess this will end up being a tune up item for me so it never happens. thanks for all the help and merry christmas i know i will sleep better
