My '06 Limited Crossfire convertible has a broken shifter requiring that I use the override. The dealership wants over $2,000 to repair it. When placed in Park I am not able to get it out of park unless I use the override (stick a pen in the override slot and press down while pulling the shifter out of park). Any ideas on what I can do to repair it myself and what is causing the problem?

The dealership said it was a problem with the shifter assembly? They offered to install a used one if I could find it but they had no luck and I am unable to find one too. My extended warranty does not cover it either! My '06 has 74k miles on it.

 

Welcome to the forum! A little more information might get you the answer you seek. Pictures of the problem...what is happening or not happening.

 

Welcome to the forum!!!!!

More information and pics would be helpful.

 

Why isn't it covered in the Extended Warrantee? Is it through the dealership?

 

Check your fuses! I had a similar problem with my Honda years ago. I was lucky to have a mechanic for a son who suggested I check fuses before taking it to the shop. He was right, it was only a blown fuse.

Good luck

 

Just a wild guess, but I know the LX cars (300/charger/magnum/challenger) have had issues with the shifting mechanish. Billet Technologies made a billet aluminum part to replace the plastic piece in the shifter mechanism. www.billettechnoligies.com
