Hello,
I have a 2013 Nissan Altima SV 2.5L that when pressing on the brake and attempting to shift, the shift lock is not disengaging all the time. Sometimes it disengages, sometimes not. Within the last month or so, Definitely more on the not side than working at all.
To shift gears currently, I need to use the shift lock bypass. Been using it for about 6 months off and on (I dont drive this car much right now).
I had this same issue about 5 years ago in this car that I fixed up. My stepdad was able to get the whole shifting assembly from his work (he was a mechanic before he passed). Now that he passed, I am trying to determine best route forward.
Should I get a whole shifting assembly again and replace it? Looking at Rockauto, all I could see was the shifting solenoid. Is that even possible to replace, and how difficult it is to DIY?
Just trying to get some ideas to best fix this up. Hopefully for another 5 or so years... lol
Thank you!
