Why doesn't my car want to shift into (and stay in) parking gear?
What is your question?
I've been noticing that my '99 Toyota Solara (139,000k) doesn't want to stay in park lately. I have to kind of slam the shifter into position a few times before it takes, and even then I'm nervous that it won't stay put. I always use the emergency brake, but I'm starting to not want to drive it as much, in case I have no choice but to park on a slight incline. It's been happening just about every time I drive, especially if I am parked on any sort of hill. I had the tranny flushed about six months ago, which seemed to make the problem worse. Any pointers? Thanks, guys!
What makes this problem better or worse?
parking on a hill.
