I'm having a problem with the automatic transmission on my civic, the damm thing won't shift out of park unless I use the shift lock release switch(even though the brake is depressed)..I thought it might have to do with the brake light sensor but the brake lights still work..
I had that problem on my prelude for a while and i did the same thing... i had to start it in neutral then shift into drive... mine eventually began working again though... havent had the problem in like 4 months
