Hey all,
I drove the 95 yesterday and it ran fine. I get in it this morning and it won't get out of Park. I jiggled the key and stomped on tehbrake a few times and nothing. In did notice a whistling noise when I stepped on the brakes the last time i drove it. Could I have a vacuum line sprung somewhere that unlocks the shifter?
TIA,
Jim

My car does the same thing sometimes. What I do is turn the engine off, slide the shifter into neutral, restart the car, and go. Freaked me out the first time it happened though. Hopefully this helps.

I could be wrong, but i dont think its the BO/O switch that controls the shifter coming out of park... theres a cable that attaches to the shifter that controls this and its manually released by another sensor connecting to the brake pedal which looks like a plunger connected to a hose. i beleieve this is the function of this, so u might want to check that connection out...
