Default Key won't come out
When I put my stick on "park", I have to wait a few minutes until I hear a click and then I can take the key out. Sometimes, it can take as much as 5 to 10 minutes.
Anybody has had that same problem? What is defective?
Thanks
Harry

Next time it happens Hit the top of the Shifter **** and see if it comes out faster.

2 things usually cause it. 1. The shiftlock overide button stuck down. 2.The shifter **** broke/sticking and not releasing all the way.

It will be best to replace the shifter ****. Before long the button will break all the way off.
