Thanks I'll give it a shot

David,

Thank you, again. Your instructions were perfect! I was able to open it up and I found that with my incredible mechanical aptitude in trying to disegage the shift lock that I had caused some marring ("marring" means I ripped the masking tape and ripped a few of the wound wires) on the wire wound portion of the solenoid that pulls the plate. Nothing else looks damaged.

I suppose that I need to hand over the $59 and get a new one from Subaru Parts.com (it says part will ship in 4-10 days, how long has it taken for you?). However, before I go and order a part that I don't need, do you think that kind of marring on the wound area of the solenoid could cause the whole thing to go bad? (the damage is about as big around as a thin screwdriver that could fit though the hole for the override.

Regards,

Yoshi
