Re: Transmission question-hard to shift from park

-
Spray some PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or something similar into the top of the steering column, where the shift lever goes in. Don't be afraid to stick the nozzle in above and below the lever and give it a good dousing. After you spray it pull the shift lever up toward you and push it back down toward the dash. It should move up and down a couple of inches. Do this 4 or 5 times. This will help free up any sticking in the shift lever tube. The reason the shift lever moves up and down is because it should be pulled back towards you to shift it into and out of the park position.

It wouldn't hurt to spray the bottom end too, where the shifter arm comes out.
