you probably need a shift lock its further down in the lever it prevents the car from going in to drive without the key and stops you from taking the key out if you forget to put the car in park

Do you have to pull the transfer case to replace the gear shifter seat in a 1987 suzuki samurai?

No, the transfer case 'Shifter Sheet' (not seat) is changed by removing the shifter from the inside of the vehicle. I recommend you get a manual and learn how to remove the shifter. Several are available for free download. It has been a while but from memory I can say that the rubber boot inside is pulled up followed bu the shifter rubber dust boot underneath, then you can push down on the retainer that is around the shifter and give it a 1/4 twist CCW to get it off, the shifter should pop out by pulling up on it. As I recall the knob has to be removed to replace the 'Sheet'.

What is the proper shifting technique for a semi-auto trans in a classic bug?

1. Accelerate as normal to shift point. (As marked on speedometer.) 2. Place hand on shifter and shift to desired gear. (DO NOT REST YOUR HAND ON SHIFTER at any other time AS THIS WILL DISENGAGE TRANSMISSION FOR SHIFTING. if the shifter is properly wired up, any presure on the shifter will disengage the transmission.) I changed my 1968 Bug from an auto stick to manual because of this.

Can't engage shifter from park?

I have the similar situation on my shifter on my 1991 pontiac sunbird 2.0 Liter. The shifter was kinda loose last two year, but it shifted fine. However, 2 days ago. When I put in "Park" gear, it was still moving forward, I put in "Rear" gear, it felt like in "Park", when I put in "Drive" gear, it felt like in "neutral". And the shifter is sometimes very loose, but back to normal when I put the shifter back and forth. I took it to a transmission store, they found out the "shift linkage cable" from the shift to the transmission was broken. I changed it today and so far no problem.
