How to remove gear shift console on 2001 neon

troubleshoot this further:

Check Transmission Fluid:
The first step is to inspect the transmission fluid. Low or contaminated fluid can lead to poor shifting performance. Ensure the fluid levels are adequate and replace it if necessary.

Throttle Position Sensors and Shift Solenoids:
Misaligned throttle position sensors or malfunctioning shift solenoids could be causing the gear shifting problems. These components play a crucial role in proper gear changes. A professional diagnosis is recommended. It is not unusal for a defective solenoid to render this effect.

Transmission Control Module (TCM):
The TCM manages the transmission's operation, including gear shifting. If it's malfunctioning, it can lead to incorrect or no gear shifts. Consider checking or replacing the TCM.

Shift Linkage or Cable Issues:
Damaged or worn shift linkage or cables can also cause gear shifting problems. These components connect the gear shift lever to the transmission. Inspect and replace any damaged parts.
Remember that diagnosing transmission issues usually requires professional expertise.

Is this the floor shift console light? Most are accessible by removing the console and tracing the wire underneath...some are bulbs, some are LED's...

the linkage is loose or poping out! check to c if trans is tightend down

Look under the hood drivers side on the top of the transmission you will see two cables, these are the shift cables, the bushings on these usually wear over time and the ends of the cables will fall off, the only option is remove the center console, and replace the cables, or use some zip ties or mechanics wire to tie them on temporary, good luck and please rate, or leave feedback

no you hit it on the head the bands are burnt and possibly seized together
you could try the old remades but it really needs to be rebuilt sorry i couldn't
give you better news but there it is in a nut shell


hope this helps you
good luck

Try pushing the gear shift further forward in park with your hand and see if the key releases.

If this fails it may be the switch itself just under the centre console which surrounds your gear shift. Carefully but firmly pull up the centre console up and you will see a little 'plunger' switch the engages when the gear shift is at its furthest travel forward in park.

If it has a center console inside the center console is a shift interlock solenoid which when the brake pedal is depressed sends a voltage signal to the shift interlock solenoid which then unlocks the shifter allowing you to shift it. It may be bad look into it. You can also manually unlock the shifter by pulling the small plug on the console next to the shifter then sticking a screwdriver down in there far enough to un lock the shifter they made that for this reason.

look for a set screw at he bottom of the shift lever, unscrew and pull up
