wow that's very generous of you my friend! Something told me to just video the process and I'm so humbled that it somehow helped at least one other human :) Happy Independence Day, have an awesome holiday!

@@314pickleball thanks brother

@@pasorie3383 You're very welcome bro! Thank you for taking the time to comment :)

@@314pickleball hey brother. I fixed the shifter, but the vehicle's driving issues continued. The next day, the problem remained, leaving me unsure of what to do next. Unfortunately, the vehicle stopped on interstate 35 in Ardmore, OK.

@@pasorie3383 Oh no, what happened, shifter stuck again? If so there's likely another piece of plastic hiding deep in there. If that's not it what is it doing?

The minor details right lol! You're very welcome dude, thanks for the message! The first time I thought I got it all out, so I'm glad I took it apart again and made sure all of the pieces were out of there and sanded down the shifter opening edges. Tiny things can create big problems ;)

You're very welcome, thanks for the message :)

You're very welcome, thanks, I hope it's easy peazy!

Alright! Awesome bro. Glad I made the video, it helped at least one person😉 Thanks for letting me know!

You're so welcome bro!! I appreciate the message! Have an awesome week!😄🙌🙏

Thanks bro! My pleasure! How do you know the solenoid is not working? I honestly didn't test mine, but the sheathing on the wires fell off so I wrapped it in electrical tape and used silicone so it wouldn't ground to any metal. Let me know what's happening for you, have a great day!

I made sure to remove any and all debris which took some time and filed the edges of shifter so it would not cause more plastic to shear off and jam up the mechanisms inside shifter again. Still working perfectly since cleaning out. At first it happened, then it worked normally then happened again so the plastic chunks will move temporarily but then fall back in and jam it up again. I hope it helps :)

Hi, yes for sure this is the issue. You need to follow the step of removing shifter and removing plastic debris that's jamming the mechanisms inside.

Hi, not sure. Mine was stuck in D and N. I could not move to R or P. I am not a certified mechanic, but you could remove the shifter and see if the shift rod moves properly. If so then it's something with the shifter. It is possible plastic pieces are lodged inside and causing the problem.

Hi @ronik1974 I have the same issue, have you found the cause of yours?

@@shawalkassim800any progress on your situation? Mine was stuck in drive and neutral. Definitely felt like an obstruction though. Drove it home, turned the car off in neutral. Popped the E brake, took my foot off the brake pedal. Searched and read some slk forum posts... Looked back down at the shifter and decided to try one more time and bam’ she shifted into park! Not sure if the problem will come back. I think I will clean out the plastic debris as well by taking out and cleaning shifter.

Is it that 2 prong fork that you lifted and I assume you place the plastic L over it? Lifting it though was the thing that released that last piece of yellow plastic right?

@@67694 Hi I apologize for the delay KZfaq is not sending me notifications!! The black elbow goes in first then the metal fork goes over it and rests and secures on the plastic where the solenoid will be installed...the solenoid is installed which holds that fork down so the elbow doesn't fall out. I hope that helps, but likely you have figured it out by now!

Please can you explain this

@@Montana10842 It's hard to explain, but the metal fork holds the plastic elbow/lever in place with the addition of the solenoid being screwed in place holds it in fully. It's tricky to carefully place the metal fork and elbow into position so just play around with it until it sits perfectly where it needs to be, then secure solenoid back in place.
