Hello everyone, first post on the forum!! So, yes when trying to select drive, gear slowly pushes itself back to neutral, from what I understand a linkage seizes up, is it a relatively easy fix, or could there be more too it?!

 

Try this $40 repair first. It made my shifter feel like new again.

Try lubricating it. Mine was doing the same, sprayed some silicone lubricant on the linkage and its been fine - I reapply every year. I have the kit above but never installed it yet.

 

Thanks Paul, for the information on the parts 👍🏻

 

I’ll give this a try thanks DT, is it easy to access, just one panel to remove, to get at it?!

 

Thanks Paul for that information 👍🏻

 

How far did you drive before lubricating the first time?
