Did the "pin" that holds the shiftlever on the column fall out or did you take it out?
========================
: Help, I was driving my car into the garage and when I went to shift it into
: park my shifter wouldn't move. I finally got it in but decided to take the knob
: off and try to fix the problem. Let me just say that I had thought of
: changing the shifter knob anyway but I got the d*#MN thing off and found that the
: round tubular piece that slips into the actual shifter head was broken
: it is made of plastic and go figure. But the problem is that I can not shift
: the car out of park without taking the knob completely off and manually taking
: pulling the little metal thing that I guess releases the locking mechanism
: and putting it into gear. Now my question is do I need just a new shift
: knob or do I need a whole new shifting kit? If just the knob will one work
: from like AutoZone or Pepboys? Thanks.
