Shifter won't leave park unless i press
the shift release...anyone know what this is? It was blazing hot yesterday and now the gear shift won't release with the brake like it's supposed to and having to press that shift release button is getting on my nerves. Any help would be appreciated.

hmmm, that's a good idea. I think i'll take that apart tonight or tomorrow and see if i can find it. Do you per chance know about how much it would cost for another shift lock. After the $400 i just spent on a new half shaft axle, water pump, timing belt and crank & cam seals, i am hoping that it is not too expensive. So Far $800 in one month on repairs for 2 SVX's is too much right now Thanks aredub.

That's a good idea too, thanks mike. A fuse wouldn't be to bad at all to change.

Yeah, i bought the parts from cdasubaru.com.
Axle $240 water pump and gasket $50 Timing belt $65 crank and cam seals (doubled for both SVX's) $42 Total came to $397, not too bad since otleatha subaru wanted $700 for the same parts and another $800 for work. Total for them was $1500. Have i mentioned here that i hate Oletha subaru? well if i haven't...i do! Dr. Kouh and i will do all the work ourselves so i won't have to pay the dealership for their work or customer service (or lack thereof) and I'll just pay Dr. Kuoh a chinese dinner buffet and custard dessert for his help *grin* not a bad deal i think.

Ouch, you should really check with either larry or Ryan at CDA suabru. They are both really good guys and can save you some money. They save me at 40% off what my dealership wants for parts. I haven't had a problem with them yet. They are pretty cool guys. The number is 800-525-2441.

SVX manual
I pulled out the handy dandy owners manual and i think eddy was right about the fuse. The horn went bad as well yesterday (but i was thinking i just melted a hose from the air horn) but the manual says that the brake light and horn are both on the same fuse.....soooooo, as soon as i can get away from here i'll head outside and check that fuse. Thanks Eddy! One question though, does this mean i don' t have any brake lights at all?!?! i don't want to be driving through the construction zone on the way home without brake lights (lots of stopping, and people here like to speed through constructions zones)....help

Good call eddy!
OK, during lunch i went out and checked the fuse and sure enough it was out. Burn out pretty bad too and sure enough there was a spare right there on the box! Now the horn, shift lock and brake lights are all working again. Thanks for the assist, i guess with all the things that i have had to replace lately i was just being overly pessimistic (ya know...when it rains it pours) and just assumed that something expensive went bad. Glad that i was wrong. I appreciate the help. Bye
