Crazy K Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Kind of annoying. really! key stuck in ignition and everything. I broke apart the column, the shifter and unhooked the shift cable and everything. Everything checked out fine. it's not a cable bind or a shift mechanism bind. I finally unhooked the shift cable from the transmission... and it's internal within the transmission. You can place the car in park while it is rolling(sometimes takes a few tries), but is completely bound the rest of the time, especially if the car is fully stopped. Obviously there is something internal wrong. I was doing this test directly with the shift lever on the transmission. Anyone got a direction for me to go in? (sigh) Quote
White93z34 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 I seem to remember Andrei having something similar happen to his 95' Regal once upon a time. Quote
AL Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 I think his parking pin had something mess up where he couldn't get it out of park but I could be wrong Quote

tornado_735 Posted March 3, 2012 Report Posted March 3, 2012 Yeah, Andreis parking pawl was fucked, and it would stick when he put it into gear. Sounds like your parking pawl is doing the opposite. I'm willing bet that it's bent, and you rolling it while trying to put it into park is just allowing it to catch a notch without it having to be straight on. If that makes any sense. Quote
Crazy K Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Posted March 3, 2012 crusher = problem solved. no really, how hard is it to get out? I think i will be gutting a junk tranny to learn how it is assembled... Quote
Crazy K Posted March 3, 2012 Author Report Posted March 3, 2012 one I'd like to cover with gas and throw a match at... Quote
Crazy K Posted March 4, 2012 Author Report Posted March 4, 2012 technically, it's the 95 ciera, 3100 with 4t60e... but the info does apply to W's. I had to do an emergency trade of cars with my parents when I discovered the car had a broken transmission... I found this thread. please laugh at the incorrect pic like i did. http://www.w-body.com/showthread.php/43702-Shifting-out-of-park-issues-Parking-Pawl-Removed!!!?highlight=parking+pawl Quote
