Consumer Description
THE FIRST TIME MY VEHICLE DIDN'T GO INTO REVERSE WAS WHEN I WAS LEAVING WORK. I ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT AND THE SHIFT MECHANISM TO ENGAGE THE REVERSE IN MY CAR WOULD NOT COME UP LIKE IT HAS TO FOR REVERSE TO TAKE HOLD. I TRIED TWICE AND TURNED MY CAR OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND TRIED AGAIN AND THE CAR ENGAGED REVERSE LIKE NORMAL. FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS THE CAR SHIFTED FINE UNTIL ON 11/23/2014 AFTER STARTING MY CAR AND LETTING IT WARM UP, I ATTEMPTED TO PLACE MY CAR IN REVERSE AND HALFWAY THROUGH THE SHIFT INTO REVERSE ON MY MANUAL CAR I HEARD A POP AND MY CAR JERKED. I THEN LET GO OF MY SHIFTER KNOB AND IT RETURNED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION. THEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN TO REVERSE ONCE MORE AND THE SHIFTER KNOB WAS LIMP AND RETURNED TO NEUTRAL BY ITS SELF. I TURNED MY CAR OFF AND SINCE I AM MECHANICALLY INCLINED I REMOVED THE LEATHER COVER FROM THE SHIFTER KNOB TO SEE MY REVERSE CABLE HAD SNAPPED CLOSE TO THE BASE OF THE HOUSING. *TR
