'95 SL2 -Auto Trans - Shift locking up??????
Can anyone help us out with this? We are currently having the following
problem with our saturn (automatic): 1.) the shift "locked" - unable to put the care into N, D, R, etc. It would not budge we were able to release it only with some very serious force... Now 2) The Key is currently stuck in the ignition also (starting the car was not a problem & it runs fine) Before we take it to the dealer for diagnostic testing, does anyone have any insight?????? Thanks! |

I just had a similar thing happen last night to my 2002 L200.
The thing is stuck in park and the ignition is stuck in lock. I can't start the car, but at least I can freely insert and remove the A(now useless) key. I haven't fixed it yet (it's still stuck in the Pak 'n Sav parking lot). I have researched a bunch of posts on the web and it seems the problem is either the shift linkage or the park solenoid being mucked up or out of adjustment. One of the most prevalent reports is of soda being spilled on the console and gumming up the shift linkage, or disableing the solenoid. It could also be a broken cable that goes from the button on the shifter "T" handle to the park lock. A large number of posters said they fixed problems exactly like yours by removing the center console housing and spraying the shift linage and park solenoid with WD-40. Well, that's a lot of advice from a guy whose car is stuck in a parking lot, unrepaired. I hope it helps. |
