Hey guys I just ran into this issue today with my 03 em2. Can anyone help me out? Has anyone else had this issue? Sorry for the bad commentary and bad lighting.

 

Take your console out and inspect the slide-pin on the shiftbox. They can start to free themselves or possibly break free of the mount all-together. A simple placement of duct tape to retain the pin properly, can typically solve the issue.

Another potential problem, could be the ball/cup assembly at the bottom of the shifter arm inside the shifter box itself. The factory ball/cup assembly has very minimal lubrication and can dry up and bind during operation. You can spray some white lithium grease down into that assembly and free it up.

 

Could i use WD-40 also to lubricate the area? Thank you for your help by the way!

 

It won't last very long, but temporarily you could.

 

Everything worked out perfectly! Thanks for your help!

 

No problem.
