My button gets to where it won't push in so I can get the shifter out of park. I have to wiggle and keep trying and it will work. Not sure what part is messed up.
If the pathfinder is a model with a park lock, then pump the brakes and listen for the shift solenoid to click. The solenoid is under the plastic cover around the shifter, and has probably gone bad.
Check for a blown fuse.
CANT GET THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF PARK
The cable/linkage between the shift lever and transmission is likely broken or disconnected
check the brake light fuse in the dash by your left knee, if it blows, cant shift park
It keeps you from shifting out of park without first putting on the brake.
The shift mechanism is only allowed to move from park if and when the brake pedal is pressed. Possible causes are, faulty brake pedal switch, shift interlock solenoid, wiring, or broken shift button. Possible shift linkage or transmission problem. Find the procedure for "bypassing or overriding the shift interlock" for further diagnosis.
transmission shift bolt loose try pushing gear shifter all the way back to park
Do you have engine sludge? What all do you do with the car?
It could be a bad brake light switch. You have to step on the brake to shift it out of park.
Into Park or out of Park?
Just find out for yourself by swimming in it.
