OK, don't make fun of me, it's my wife's car......
1998 Boxster - Tip - 39,XXX miles
I've noticed the last few times we had the car out, that the shifter was a bit stiff. I took it out today, stopped for gas, and all seemed OK, but the shifter was still stiff. When I got home with it, I could barely get it out of D. Fortunately, I was able to coax it into N with a bit of muscle. Of course, I can't turn the key off, so had to disconnect the battery.
This isn't the typical stuck in P situation. It is locked tight in N and will not move in either direction. The ignition seems to be activating the mechanism properly, as I can't push the release button when the ignition is in accessory mode, but if I start the car, I can depress it.
I really, really, REALLY don't want to have it flat bedded to the shop. Any tips, no pun intended, would be most appreciated. I can't find anything online describing my particular situation.
Thanks!!!
