My brake cable for the gear shift has come a loose how do it fit back in the pink clip?

Check fuses first then bypass the brake pedal switch with a paper clip or its your shift lock solenoid under the shifter.

Hi there! That happen to my Chrysler 300. The gear wouldn't shift at all. The problem was..the little pink plastic thing that makes the car shift broke. We called the dealership and they were trying to make us pay a lot of money to replace WHOLE SHIFT GEAR! I was like no sir..so I did researched and I replaced the pink plastic thing with an aluminum one that won't break ever. It was 49.99 from the website I bought it from. They are on sale now for 29.99. My husband replaced piece took him an hour to do it. Never had problems with gear since. Here's the website where I bought it from...

WHATEVER YOU DO..DO NOT TAKE IT TO DEALERSHIP..THEY WILL CHARGE YOU AN ARM AND A LEG AND WILL REPLACE WHOLE GEAR AND PUT PINK PLASTIC THING BACK IN..WHICH EVENTUALLY WILL BREAK AGAIN..GOOD LUCK!!! :)

There is a cable that clicks to the driver side of transmission you can pop it off with a screw driver then it has a clip on the end of the cable take it loose than slide the end of cable to adjust park the easy way is after you take clip loose to adjust snap cable back on trans with clip still loose get inside truck move gear shift were u want it to b than climb back and snap adjustment clip back in cable with out taking the cable back off trans

there is adjustment down on the ******. I will send you a picture, what you will need to do it put on the e brake,and block the tires. on the drivers side of the ****** the shift cable is located, pop off the cable from the arm and pull the white clip, when push the arm foward that is park,and then easily pull the cable to the arm and put back the white clip

Hi Ray, The advise above is good and should be checked out. If that does not solve the problem, before looking for a replacement transmission check and make sure the clutch is fully disengaging. If the clutch is mal adjusted that can also cause a problem with shifting gears. If the gears are stuck and wont shift at all the problem is most likely with the selector rods and/or forks. In that case you'll need major transmission work carried out. Regards John

your problem with the gear selector is in the item 25 these are 2 plastic bushings that wear out and cause the gear selector feels loose, you should also check the item 27 this item has one or two screws loose and cause the gear selector feels loose

my gear shift is stuck in park need name of the part tanksin my dodge charger 2006

shift interlock cable out of adjustment? Solenoid problems at one time with these.

ITS NOT THE SAFETY SWITCH ON BAKE PEDAL,WENT THRU SAME THING, HUSBAND TOOK IT APART, AND THE SPRING WAS BROKEN. THE SPRING IS PART OF THE BRIGHT PINK SAFETY SWITCH, EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT. IT KEEPS PRESSURE ON IT, SO WHEN ITS PRESSED IT RELEASES IT. WE OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER 300..

This happened to me. And googleing the solution was very unproductive so I decided to take stuff apart and figure it out. I fixed it. Here's how. First, other forums told me that pressing on the brake releases a lever that allows you to shift from park, and that is true. Then I was told that the mechanism that releases that lever is broken and you can remove the gear shift trim, press on a pink lever to release the gear shift. That did NOT work and besides, when I pressed on the brake, I still heard the 'click' and that told me that the brake/release mechanism still functioned and that I should look elsewhere for the problem.

Here's what ultimately solved the problem. I had to remove the gear shift housing. In order to do that, I had to remove the center console. At first, it seemed like a daunting task but in the end, screw/fastener removal was logical and the parts went back together in a snap. Still, my wife saw the project mid-progress and got scared. No worries, happy ending. Anyway, once I removed the gear shift housing, I noticed another pink lever that was never mentioned in any of my google attempts. This other pink lever fits in a notch within the gear shift assembly and should be released as soon as you push the gear shift to the right on it's way down to the reverse position but only if the key is turn to the 'On' position. This lever is spring loaded. In my case, the little tiny plastic clip on the inside of the gear shift housing that holds a 10 cent spring (I'm guessing its 10 cents) was broken. That's it.

So my choices were to either by a new gear shift housing assembly for $300+ or use a dremmel tool to saw off the portion of the this pink lever that fits inside the aforementioned notch. I'm broke so I chose the later. 3 hours later, my 2006 Pacifica was mobile again. So what's the down side of sawing that piece off? Now it's possible to pull the key out of the ignition while the car is still running. If you can deal with that, you can save a lot of money. However, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY IF HARM COMES TO YOU OR YOUR CAR BY PERFORMING THE SAME FIX AS I DID! But now you know.
