Shifter Mystery

[SilatGuru]

My 2011 4.6 Sedan (Tech package) is at the dealer. I started noticing it was hard to get it in reverse as the shifter floated. Now it won’t settle in Park so I could not get it started. Dealer does not know the problem.

Try getting to the shift lock and see if you can by pass it like that?

I unlocked the shift lock when I had it towed and tried to get it to recover but didn’t help.

Car would not move from parking for some reason


I understand yours is a Gen1 vs. Gen2, but the issue is the same, same design between the 2 generations, even if the parts differ slightly, this is a common design that has been around for 50 years, gradually moving from a cabled linkage to an electronic linkage, but the design and operation theory is the same

Thanks. I called them with that info and that is the conclusion they had arrived at and are seeking the part from Hyundai.

Linkage nut was stripped. They say it’s a $40 part and it’s on the way.
