2004 Grand Am won't shift out of park
 

Hey all
I have an ' 04 Grand Am that all of a sudden will not shift out of park. Wife drove it to and from work last Thursday with no issues. On Friday morning, she went out to go to work, and the car would not shift out of park and she had parked behind our 2nd car.

Quick google search revealed a couple things to check, first was the brake switch (seems to work fine) other was the button mech on the shifter. I was able to get the bezel off around the shifter and when the button is pressed, it looks like the arm does not move quite far enough to disengage. I was able to press on the side of the arm and was able to drive it forward enough to get the Durango out so she could go to work. Once back in parrk, it locks up solid again. If I have the brake on while running and push the button on the shifter and apply pressure to the arm it will move fine.My question is, is there some adjustment to make so that it will easily operate again?

Thanks in advance.

Steve
