Shift Inter-Lock/ Neutral Safety Switch Fix

Postby Wcfd2509 » Sat Mar 16, 2013 10:17 pm

First post on here, but here you go guys.

This is a $1.00 fix for your "I can't shift out of park but my brake lights work and my engine starts" problem.

I've been using a screw driver for a while and just got tired of it. So, I went to Nissan and gave them my vin and asked for the part. They gave me the wrong one. After staring at the shift lock mechanism for about 5 minutes, I decided to just fix the current part to where it was like the screw driver was in all times.

Beware, this will mean if you accidentally bump the shifter down to reverse without the brake pedal depressed, it WILL STILL shift into reverse without the brake pedal depressed! So if you have small kids or dogs, just get it fixed for real. I'd hate to see your Pathy ghosting it in reverse in the Walmart parking lot while you let it warm up in the winter lol.
