On Tuesday 7/25/02 my 1991 Accord SE decided to give me a hard time to take out of park. It will goe in to gear but is very stiff? It was not a gradual thing either. It started instantly! Does it just need to be lubricated? Thats what it feels like ? please help. Mike Richardson

 

A common problem with your car is stiff auto shifter cable. Mine is starting to give me problems too. It seems like if every once in awhile i just shift it to 1 or 2 it loosens it up. There is no way to lubricate the cable, only replacement. I think i priced it at about $100 for just the part.

 

Oh yea, and i forgot to mention mine has the same symptoms as you have. My sister cant even take it out of park sometimes. haha, failsafe way to keep her from driving it.

 

Thanks. That is a great thought. Mike

 

I like my tight shifter.

 

 

have you tried to lubricate it with a cable lubricator, if not then you might want to try that. you can pick one up at a motorcycle shop in your area

 

damn you can look into the future???

 

Came out wrong...or right?

 

didnt even notice that.. good eyes

 

lol, I just noticed that.
