my shifter is stuck, can go from park to reverse, dealer says shifter is broken, 750$, happens to somebody?
More info perhaps?
Can or Can't go from Parking to Reverse or any other gear? Or just from "P" to "R" and nothing else?
Do the brake lights work OK?
I've read somewhere that sometimes the brake switch can cause some weird stuff on ATs, including some if the symptoms above. It looks scary but it is just a simple faulty switch...
I found it! Worked like a charm and went right into Reverse. Thank you Mazda 247! Now to check the brake lights and the brake switch.Little cover above the P. Pop that off and insert a screwdriver.
If you need to use the override because you can't get the car out of park, it's either due to a faulty shifter, brake switch or shifter release solenoid.
