Help: 323 protege sifter keeps sticking in Park.....

[DEVIANT]

Good Day Tuners,


I would like some help in diagnosing this problem. I have a mazda 323 protege and recently, the sifter sometimes sticks in the Park position and after some tugging it releases........I had experienced the problem occasionally about 6 months ago, but it stopped, now its happening again but more frequently .

Any advice given would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks.

the brake interlock for the shift selector is sticking

Thanks Cinco...........so would changing the sifter selector unit help solve the problem???

check the brake interlock basically when you press the brake it is supposed to release the shift solenoid
on another note check you mounts sometimes the tranny mount can go bad and make that shifting hard

i had that same problem awhile back i won't recommend doing what i did though i pressed in the bypass switch and left it like that no worries since ......... If you have kids who will interfere with it and regularly leave them in the vehicle with the engine running don't do it get the brake interlock switch checked/changed
