I have to to push shifting lever forcefully to engage D and N range. I feel like that lever is loose. Thanks

Hello,

It sounds like the shifter cable has gone bad. You will need to jack the car up to replace it.

Please let us know what you find.

Cheers, Ken

The neutral safety switch is what controls that operation. I would check that out, here is a guide some diagrams (below) that will help you get the problem fixed.

Please let us know what happens, we are interested to see what it is.
