Intrepid SE 2.7L
Up to now the car had been running normal, routinely checked fluids with no leakage found. Trans working fine no slipping and then I went to park the car. It would not shift into park. I then shifted thru the gears with no problem. Finally after several attempts the car went park. The next morning the car would not shift out of park, I gave the shifter a good tug and SNAP. I then tore apart the console and discovered that the shift cable had detached from the shift lever arm, The arm was twisted and bent downward, which allowed the cable to simply slide off. I used a pair of channel locks to reshape the shifter arm. I moved the shifter back so I could reattach the cable....I started the car, so I know it was not a interlock cable problem. It still would not shift out of park...So as I sat scratching by ever balding head while the car idled in park for a good 10 minutes.
Then I sprayed wd-40 on EVERYTHING and Ta-Da. The car shifted into reverse .
Then neutral and then to drive...I could not shift to 3rd or 1st, I still have to readjust the cable for that to happen....I have been driving the car with this potential headache waiting to rear it's ugly head again..Can anybody tell me whats going on and why does the car shift only when the transmission is warm?
