thanks for all the help now i got yet another issue, the damn thing wont shift outta park unless i manually push the lock lever in, im thinking i should lube it with pb blaster and let it work itself in to the contact points, apparently the recalls have been fixed but im gonna call them again to find out

dont use pb blaster as it is NOT a lubricant, it is a solvent/cleaner. Use a silicon based lubricant as it will hang around longer and not get tacky as it dries (which pb blaster and wd 40 both can do)
