Consumer Description

COLUMN SHIFTER LEVER HAD BEEN DIFFICULT TO MOVE FOR MONTHS FROM P (PARK) TO ANY OTHER GEAR (R, D, 1-2-3). THE SHIFTING MECHANISM BROKE TODAY AFTER I STARTED THE ENGINE (TRUCK HAD BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT IN MY HOME'S DRIVEWAY) WHEN I TRIED TO MOVE THE SHIFTER FROM PARK TO REVERSE TO EXIT THE DRIVEWAY AND DRIVE VEHICLE ELSEWHERE. SHIFTER WILL NOT ENGAGE TRANSMISSION INTO ANY GEAR NOW; TRUCK IS NOT DRIVABLE. REQUIRED AN OVERSIZE ROLLBACK TOW TRUCK TO COME GET IT AND TAKE IT TO A REPAIR SHOP SINCE MY PICKUP HAS A LONG BED.
