welp guys my baby is being mean again...yesterday as i was pulling into my driveway she just shut off on me... i went to put her in park to turn her back on and she wouldnt change gears for me and i cant take the key out unless shes in park so i thaught to myself transmition? well i crawled under her ( shes sitting in the middle of the street) and pushed on one of the rods that connects to the transmition it popted in and she went in park...i then pulled her into the drive way and parked her. the next morning i got back in her fired her up...and shes doing the same thing. doesnt wanna go into gear or let me take the key out...how do i fix this? P.S help soon im having to drive a honda civic around town lol :(

hey man,
how ya doin??
l had the same problem. in the parking lot half an hour l tired and l found what the hell was that..
well, my english is not that good and l dont know how to explain..
the thing what u shift with.. l guess it is shifter.. twist it right or left.. mine was twisted to left and l tried my best but l clouldnt get the key out. and then l twist the shifter to right nad l heard little click sound and than l got the key out.
even if u put it in to park, the car still thinks maybe it is still on gear and dont let u get the key. so when u twist it right or left, l think u will be able to get the key. (hopefully)
mine was EXACTLY the same problem and l fixed it that way, sometimes it happens and twist the shifter to right and get my key!!!
good luck man.. l hope ur problem is that too..

Hey man i fixed the problem what you need to do is crawl under there and look to see if any of the rods going into the transmition are getting caught up on something wiggle them around and tada she'll work great again.. what happens on mine is if i push up on my quick shifter without pulling up first the rod twist and gets stuck on my headers. tell me if this helps you
