Removing automatic shfter knob
#13
Got it off today and with a little muscle it came and managed to avoid popping myself in the face.
Now for the problem. When taking it out of park, it's a button push wiggle, etc to get it to shift out. I had assumed she spilling something sticky down the button but that's not it. There are 2 shafts which work the function of releasing the lock button. The one on the driver's side has wires going to it. I assume that's the brake lockout. Not sure what the other does but they both seem to work together for the button lock. I've cleaned and added a little lube but still sticks. Interesting though I found that once I get the button to press, as long as I don't take my foot off the brake, going back to park does not stick again going back out. But if I do the same except take foot off brake after getting out of park, then when I go back to park it sticks again. Every time. So I took the drivers side cable off and it works with no evidence of sticking when I move it with my hand but with it off all works fine.
Suggestions please as I don't want to leave it off all the time, but this sticking is going to cause someone to eventually force something and break it.
