So the small spring that returns the gear shift lever to the forward position (closest to the dash) when you put it in park so that you can shut the ignition completely off broke. I now have to make sure and push the lever forward once in park so I can shut it off and get the key out. I called the dealer and according to the parts guy that spring is no longer available.
I went to ace hardware and got a few different springs to try, but there is almost no way of getting the spring in. It would be simple if I could get the lower part of the lever mechanism out. You can see what looks like a pin that's drove through it, but I couldn't get it out to save my life. I had to cut the spring down to install it, but by the time I did that it's too short.
Wtf do I do at this point. I messed with it for 2hrs last night with no luck.
