99 9-3 Shifter Pops, key won't turn Posted by Nicholas [Email] (#2995) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Nicholas) on Tue, 13 Feb 2007 11:50:34 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Ok heres a tricky one. I haven't seen one like it yet after a search of the 1000 shifter related posts.
Problem has been intermittent, did it last summer, went away, been fine till last night when I parked it on a slight hill in reverse. I came back to the car and...
1) the key is very difficult to turn, you can force it but lots of resistance
2) you really have to force it out of reverse
3) There is a loud pop that comes from the shifter unit when ever you go horizontal, say from 1-2 or 3-4
4)The feeling of the shifter is terrible.
I realigned the shifter. It did not help.
I dissconected the shifter from the tranny and it still did it so I've eliminated transmission problems.
There is no visible cracks in the shifter ball. The spring rotates around but seems hesitant when I go horizontal.
I replaced the tranny mount a few months ago
I'm really lost as to where to go next, aside from an indy $$$.
Any Ideas ? Anyone else expierence this?
