(2) 88 accord DX shift lever locked in ' park' prob......UPDATE.

PROBLEM description is worded in full after this
update note.. might wanta read it first..jim

I haven't been able to move car for a month now..It has been very hot here
& getting under car with it parked on big gravel is kinda difficult..
However, i've been under there & trued up shift cable to trans.. CAR is on
4 blocks with all wheels free.. The cable guide bracket between the trans &
console hump was bent just a little so i did align that.. no affect on
prob.. Too, the front wheels are free & they rotate in opposite directions
when either is manually turned. Saw some info in silver shop manual i have
that pointed toward some safety interlocks on other models as respects
rear lights so i checked out all rear light functions & all worked fine..
SO anyone out there got new ideas that i need to look at.. ITS no fun
owning a nice Honda STUCK IN PARK... Gimmi some new leads please...GIMMI a
ph # & i'll call you.
thx guys,

************************************************
Only 75k on this oldie. However, drove it into
my driveway friday evening & all was normal.
Wife went out sat am & engine fired up fine,
steering wheel released, BUT she couldn't get
the trans out of park.. I removed the front console cover & removed the
shift adjuster lock pin. The shift lever is working fine but that
shift cable seems to be frozen.. Haven't been UNDER the auto yet but i'd
like to know what i'm looking for under there before I go thru the
ropes of getting under the car.Can't move it very
easy with it stuck in park.. I do have the thick SHOP manual for the auto
& so far i've found
nothing on my problem. Just lots of FINE photos..
Is there anyone out there familiar with this problem? Appreciate any
input..

thx, jim
