Anyone else have this issue?

don think that you should try this on your own, it might be something in the transmission, but it sounds like the lock ring(button end) is broken off

not to sound stuipd...but what is the lock ring ( button end)?.....is it one of the ends for the btsi?..looks almost like a nipple that it hooks onto on both ends?

I'm a noob at this stuff

I'm not disagreeing I probably will end up taking it to a dealer for the problem with the shiftlock.....

Is there an easy way to read up on how the shiftlock operates so that I can understand how it functions in my car?

when you push the brake, the button end(shift lock) pin you snapped, it may be warbling around in there, it also may be the drive safety pin(lik, when you are driving, you dont knock it into reverse) they may both be broken....i will do reasearch ok?
