740 auto trans shift selector problem 700

posted by  someone claiming to be antsi on  Tue Apr 24 15:40 CST 2007 [RELATED]

This is my wife's 740 wagon. Today she put it in park and the release button on the shift selector - the button that allows you to put the car in gear - popped loose along with its shaft. Now you cannot get the car out of park.

Is this a common problem?

Any suggestions or experience in fixing it?

    I had that small button pop out on me - twice in my 740 life.

    My button base that clicks onto the top of the shaft had a crack. There should be a spring underneath the button. Hope you didn't loose that ...

    A new button can be had if yours is bad. Assembly is the reverse as they say. One tip. You need to push hard down on the button so that it'll engage a groove inside it's base. If not the button won't hold and likely to pop out again.
