It could be the transmission pin
ok cool that's great, what might that cost me tho? is it an easy fix
how do you brake those pins then? I don't drive auto I hate them so I don't have these issues lol
Parking pin keeps the car from moving when in Park. Doesn't have anything with the car not starting.
2008 Carbon Gray GT Sedan 5 Speed
more likely neutral safety switch then
You just put the car in park and don't use the parking brake. I see this happen *all* the time by lazy drivers. By doing this, the weight of the car is now on the pins and eventually they break. You usually see the car rock a bit when people do it.
Best practice is to engage the parking brake first, allow weight of weight to be held by that brake, and *then* put the gear selector into Park.
ah ok cool thanks ill tell her that
