MY car shifter has been very hard lately. It is becoming very irritable to move from P to another gear. It takes several attempts to get it to work.

HAs anyone experienced this problem? What could cause it and how much does it cost to fix?

 

are u parking on a steep hill or decline? if so, use your e-brake.

 

Yea that happens when there is some strain on the tranny. Ive had it happen a few times. Does anybody know if it does actual damage?

 

its probably the shift interlock switch. it keep people from accidently shifting the car out of park. you need to put your foot on the brake and this lets you get out of park. you will feel a click in the shifter when the switch/lock is released.

 

Ok this happens whether on a hill or not. I always put my e-brake on. I always step on the brake first... It still happens... I do eveyrthing correctly but it still happens.. why?>
