Slow or stiff gear shifter (AT) found the problem
Well the other week it snowed here figure i tell you guys what happened. I ran over some ice over the bottom of my driveway.
The car went dead i couldnt put the car into drive or reverse so i shut off the car, then it didnt respond when I restarted the car ( pulling the shifter park reverse or drive)
So once it responded i got up my driveway, and figure i ran over some snow/ ice and got lodged up there and would melt.
Same sypmtoms continued stiff shifter as i pulled from park to drive.
Solution -
Checked under the car when i got my oil change this week.
My shop guy told me that the cable closest to the tranmission was bent or kinked. He straigten the cable and then everything was solved.
I noticed the underbody does a decent job covering it but at the end is where i ran into trouble for that one instant.
Just posting this incase anyone else runs into this problem.
