shifter lock pin
hi everyone!I'm new here and i need help with my auto shifter.The problem is that it dosen't lock into place no more,i can go from park to low 1 without pressing the button.I remove the console(plastic cover)and realised that the little u-clip under the plastic cable as fallen down and i'm not able to put it back in place,it dosen't stay there.Does anyone had that problem before?Any help/suggestion would be great.

Is this the clip that you are talking about? Take the old one and go to the dealership and see if they can get you a new one or try the auto parts stores. Other wise you will need to buy the whole cable or hope to find a servicable one in the junkyard.

no it's a steel u-pin that goes up and down at the bottom of the shiftstick to lock/unlock the shifter.It got threads on it.
There's a plastic rod inside the lever that is supposed to push on it won't stay in place.
The shifter **** is missing,too.
This car was parked for 6 years and the previous owner made some weird modification to it for least to say.
So maybe he to fix it himself

You could just get another shifter assembly from a junkyard if yours is missing lots of pieces. The console is sort of a pain to remove but in about an hour you could have a new fully fully finctional shifter in.
