Hi all,
The auto transmission in my 95 civic will no longer go into park. The shift lever will go all the way up into P, the P light on the cluster will come on and I can turn the car off and take out the key. But if I turn the car on like this, I'm instantly going in reverse.
So now I have to put the car in N, turn off the engine, put the lever in P and take out the key. To turn it on I put the key in, turn on power, move lever to N and then start the car. Not pleasant.
It seems that there is a sensor on the lever which lights up the P, N, D lights and the cable does the actual shifting on the transmission. So I'm thinking the sensor works, but the cable is messed up.
Any help on diagnosis? I'm seriously hoping that it is the cable and not the whole transmission that is busted. Every other gear works fine.
Many thanks.
