I have Forester 2007. Last few weeks I experience problems with the transmission lever. When I put it on PARK I sometimes cannot move it back to the DRIVE. First time it happened 2-3 weeks ago and today it happened twice during the day. It is quite scary as the car ic completely immobilized. I tried today to remove little plastic TAB next to the lever and after pressing I was able to move it but without manipulating it I get completely stuck.
Few things I noticed:
- when it happened 2-3 times in last 2 weeks I had to press the break harder and the lever got unlocked (today this did not help at all)
- when I move the lever left/right on the PARKING position, I can hear a clicking sound around the odometer (inside). It seems like a relay. That might be the cause of the problem , so my question is:
- how to test if it is a relay ?
- how to get inside (as it seems to be very hard task) ?
