Backed out of driveway and gear shift lever moved with no connection. Under hood with brake on and engine running, manually turned Transaxle control lever to get it into D and drove back into my driveway.
If I put it in reverse I can shift from inside the car to park. Moving it out of park puts it back doing nothing again.
Question; Do you think that since I can put it into Park from Reverse, from the inside the car, the shift cable is not broken loose but the problem is top side and can be adjusted?
Being a 98 the column shrouds would probably crack as I take them off, so I,m hoping it can be fixed above them.
