1984 Chevy Caprice shifter does not return to position after pulling into gear
Ted’s question:
“My son just bought a 1984 chevy caprice w/auto trans.The shifter does not return to position after pulling into gear. Is there a spring broken? Im afraid it might slip into gear if left idle in park. How do I fix?”
Answer:
More commonly, the shifter linkeage gets bent OR the shifter cable that goes from the shifter to the transmission is just worn out. After all, it’s just a small cable that’s been tugged at for twenty four years in that vehicle. So check that cable first.
