Ok i have an occuring problem i might have talked about it when i first started here.....but it wasnt answered........ook heres the problem...I have an automatic and if i put my car in park after driving for a little time.......the keys will not come out......what i have noticed is that the keys wont come out until the indicator park light is lit up.....sometime it will take like 5minutes for that light to light up......sometimes if i bang the shifter with my hand it will go in to park.......but i also noticed that when the car starts to shake while its in park i guess it hits like a high idle or something then the P will light up and the keys will come out.......i was told that thier is a grease in thier near the shifter and it might need to be replaced or something........i hope this made since and if someone can help me it will be really apreciated(spelling)
thanx

It has somthing to do with your neutral safety switch. also your shift linkage. an easy thing to do is take the center console off from aorund the shifter. check to see if there is coin or a pen or something blocking you from going all the way into park. It might sound a little weird but I have seen it before quite a bit. I am not sure but it think you have a shifter cable. It is a very common problem for the cable to start binding. The 90-93 ACCORD has a big problem with the shifter cable.
there's some things for you to check out. please let me know what you find. I am courious.

Maybe one of your motor mounts are fucked up so it can't shift up right.

yeah if they are actually broken.. but you'd know if you broke a mount... your engine tends to flop around and a loud thud is heard
