cant shift out of park
Hey guys, quick question for you.
91 honda civic auto HB. Been a great car, but now when I put the key
in, start the car and press the brake, I cant shift out of park. I
have to use the shift lock release next to the shifter to be able to
get going. Any ideas? It was a very sudden thing...

Have you or anyone else work on the transmission in the past couple of months?
If it was a mechanic, take it back and tell him the problem.
It's possible that the problem is related to the transaxle control
solenoid. You might have to replace it. If you have never before done any
work on transmissions, I advise you to take it to your favorite mechanic.

Re: cant shift out of park
On an integra you can override the lock on the shifter by putting a key
in the little slot in front of the shifter -- it might be similar on
your civic.
A solenoid normally controls this lock and the key just manually pushes
the lever. That solenoid might be broken or not driven. It can also be
in need of adjustment.

Re: cant shift out of park
So, instead of replacing the solenoid, I could jsut replace it with
really no ill effects right?
