recently my shifter has been stuck in "P" but the problem is its not tilted to the left nor right, its simply stuck in the middle and i cant take my key out of the ignition... i recently let my friend drive my car and they slammed on the breaks causing a drink to spill. is there a way i can remove the shift border and clean out the inside?

 

absolutely! it just pops right up. dont let frinds drive your car. did you try pulling up the little bitty cover and inserting a key to release the shifter?

 

same thing happened to me. i spilled a drink in the shifter and afterwards my shifter got all sticky inside. you just need to force the shifter to move since its just all the sugar from the drink making it sticky. i sprayed a bit of wd-40 in the right places and its been perfect ever since

 

Could you show a picture or describe them for the thread ?

 

i removed the square frame but what i need to remove is the cover that the Labels ( P R D L + -) i see that theyre clipped into the sides and its near impossible for me to remove it without breaking off pieces of the plastic

 

I didnt remove anything, I just sprayed wd-40 in a few spots to clean out the sticky spots. i can show you a pic of the stock shifter...lol

 

Haha not necessary, was just checking to see if there was a particular place that needed to be sprayed to get the job done.
