Smile Re: Auto Transmission will not shift into Drive.

I disassembled the console and found sodapop syrup goo. I took hot water and dish soap to gingerly cleanup the goo. I applied the soap solution to the sliding panels that move when you shift and exercised the shifter, repeating this procedure until felt they were cleaned then lightly rinsed with hot water. NO MORE PROBLEMS up to this date.

RELATED ITEM: The mirrors control was very stiff and stiffer as the temperature dropped. I pulled straight up to remove the **** and discovered the same goo. Cleaned away the goo with the above solution and the control works like new.

THANK YOU TO THE FORUM: I have been able to find answers to my questions, how to remove, how does this work, etc, by searching the posts!
