With the car turned off, can you move the button in your shift ****?

I took my shift **** off, and since putting it back on, the button does not move at all when the car is off and in park.

I think we agree - at the top of the shift lever there's a button which you squeeze to shift. I'm just curious if anyone can depress it when the car is turned off.

Mine is frozen like a brick and I don't think that's normal. I've been having something strange going on with my lever ****, so that's why I'm asking.

I used this link for a work around tonight. Sweet!

Ahh then no it should not move at all with the car off

You fixed it


It shouldn't move unless the key is "on", and the brake peddle depressed.


It was broke before you took it apart...

Most likely I was misremembering. I do that sometimes.

Ok then, the button in the shift **** properly cannot be compressed when the car is turned off. I guess that's good news, I have less of a problem then I thought, but really since removing the rod so the key can come out I'd pretty much solved the issue anyway.

You shouldn't be able to move it unless the car is running, or the battery is turned on.
