If shifter isn't reading will it affect the transmission?
What is your question?
Initially the shifter wouldn't come out of park when it first started acting up. Removed and cleaned everything up in the shifter and was initially able to get it out of park and functioning. However, now the shifter isn't reading and the transmission isn't shifting out of 1st gear. My question is will that cause it to go into limp mode and not shift?
