97 red svx NOT SO SPECIAL now

[anthonybuchanan]

I cant put my svx into gear from park.

I hardly drive it and noticed approx 4 months ago that when I started the car up and moved the shifter from 'P'ark to 'D'rive, the shifter would move forward into 'N'eutral and I couldnt move anymore. It engaged/clicked into 'N'eutral very well.

To get around this problem I would put it in 2nd (down 1 from 'D'rive) and it would then move forward into 'D'rive. It seemed to reluctantly engage/click into 'D'rive but it was still in 'D'rive.

I never noticed any transmission problems while driving just shifter problems.

Now though the car will not leave 'P'ark and let me shift into any of the gears.

Does anyone have insight or recommendations into this problem ?

I'de be grateful for any feedback.
