Default Messed up trans lever button?????

OK this is starting to anoy the crap out of me!!!! Every time, I go to drive my car, I have to really lean on that button on my gear shifter *** to get my car into gear . I don't think it's a transmission problem. someone told me to re-lube the cable that connects to it....

Maybe take the top off your shifter and see if something is broken internally. Maybe it just needs to be lubed.

At some point it its illustrious life, someone probably spilled coke or coffee, and it has gummed up the works. Take about half a can of WD40 and spray it down inside the button while spraying. It will probably take care of your issue.
