My shifter is starting to jam up when going from park to neutral to drive...some times I cant even pull up the release...its jams up to and I gotta fight with it to get it in gear...

whats up with that? the cable seems to be fine and so is the linkage under the car....its in the shifter for some reason


what can I look at?

 

check your gear indicator cable they are prone to bend and jam up

 

I think I looked at that......I dont remember.

Its so short I dont see how that would cause the shifter to jam up

 

happened to mine the cable broke where it coneects to the shifter itself and it lodged in between the part that moves and the bracket, def caused it to jam lol..... had hell trying to fix it, damn thing still doesn't indicate right... granted don't really need it to

 

hmmm? I guess I'll go out there and look at it again tomorrow,,,I'll even disconnect it and see if it doesnt jam anymore.

but if it still does, then what?

Im hoping its just what you guys are talkin about

 

thats wat i did with mine. but wat i did was take out the center console (the plastic that the arm rest is attached to) and leave it off for a few weeks while i drove it, could watch exactly wat happened then..... actually i watched as the cable became the problem it didnt actually snap the stupid thing connecting it to the shifter did.... nemore ?s just let me know, let us know wat u find out with it

 

ok well I found out what was wrong...it turned out to be under the car where the cable is connected to the gear selector on the trans. the outter sleeve had come apart and wasnt allowing the cable to slid back thru...I just taped it back together and its seems to hold pretty good till I get a new cable...guess after 6 years it finally gave out.

Got a new problem!...

I took the indicator loose off the shifter plate and cant for the life of me figure out how it goes back on...there are 2 spacers bolts and 2 nuts that connects the indicator to the plate....along with the light...


how does that go back together?


can someone take a picture? or something?

I looked in my B&M box and it doesnt say how to do that...

thanks!!
