Auto Transmission will not shift into Drive.
Auto Transmission will not shift into Drive.
My '04 with an automatic transmission is finicky and often will not shift down past neutral into Drive etc, it can be shifted into P R & N, after much rattling of the shifter it will usually allow shifting into Drive etc. This is real embarrassing after you have just backed out of a parking space. Has anyone else had or heard of this problem or is there a recall related to this?

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!

Yeah, I assumed that would be ok if the brake lights worked which they do. Will investigate further though.

Re: Auto Transmission will not shift into Drive.
Hello I have the same problem my tranny sometimes will not shift into drive or revers. Its really embarrasing because I have to mess with it in order for it to work. Can you guys help me on a step guide to disassemble and get a look to see if theres soda goo. If not so I can take it to get it fixed. Much help needed please help. Thank you
Re: Auto Transmission will not shift into Drive.
Firstly, make sure its not the selector swicth. You can check this by prodding a pen into the small hole at the lower part of the selector lever. If that works then you will need to replace the swicth which in my case was very cheap at my local garage. £12 for switch & £10 labour. If its the gear box 'goo' then I am not able to assist you because I havn't experienced that. 'Yet'. Hope this helps.
