Especially since you said you used to be able to wiggle it until it finally stopped altogether. Only problem is that the unit is sold as the whole upper shift linkage. You beat me to it mate, that is what i was going to sugest, and i reckon itll be the brake interlock solenoid or something related to that. You cant take it out of park without your foot on the brake, but try turning the key to unlock, and see if it will let you shift out of park without the ignition on. I know on a late C4 you can shift from park without the brake if the ignition is turned off (not if its on lock though, as that locks it in park using a cable from the steering column, which is another item you should check), im not sure if the C5 setup is the same. |
