Unfortunately, there is no easy way to bypass this other then removing the center console and expose the solenoid then hope that moving it manually will release the lock.

If not, then it will need to be replaced. I attached the testing for this if you want to run through the testing but it is rare that the issue is not the solenoid contacts itself.

Let me know if you have more questions. Thanks

Morning KASAKENNY. Well, I followed the testing but in picture 2 step 3 I can't find 1 hom or less. When I was performing the next step I saw like sulfation in that area. I like clean that areas but is very uncomfortable. You know how can access or remove all transmission floor shift to clean it before buy a new one.
Thanks.

Hi KASAKENNY. Yesterday and today I have been to perform on pic 2 step C. But it’s very difficult I rotate the nut but can’t separate the transmission control cable assembly from the transmission floor shift assembly, I don’t know if when rotate the nut I need move it: up, fwd or backwards.
Do you have a tip or something I can help me to separate it?

Thanks.

Yeah. These are not easy because they are a little odd. Take a look at the attachment. There should be a stopper that needs to remain in position shown in red in the first picture. Then you rotate the nut 180 degrees and hold it in place then pull it apart.

Unfortunately there are no tricks. It is just something that you are going to have to mess with until it comes off. Sorry.

Hi. Well, is very difficult I cannot do it, I don’t want to damage transmission control cable assembly, nut, spring or transmission floor assembly I think when I have money and time I will go to the dealership. Thanks again KASAKENNY for your time and patience. I fix other problems in my car with a new topics.
Greetings from Panama City.
