Sometimes I try to shift out of the park position the shift button will not release the console shift lever. I can get it loose but it is really hard to do. The brake pedal is depressed when I attempt to shift out of park. I have tried squirting a little oil in the button on the shifter, but it still seems like it might have a barb on it. Once it breaks loose it seems alright for a few days. Can you help with a solution?

Another thing you don't want to do is run that compressor with a jumper ito it. When you do that your running it without the condenser fan and that will send the pressure to explosive points and take out your compressor.
