Part 2/2: 2005-2007 Charger, Magnum, and 300 "Shifter won't come out of Park!" fix

[@whadthefriggincrud]

I'm not a super handy guy, but I can usually hold my own on most projects. when it comes to cars though, I am 90% of the time clueless. I was about to leave for work and my 06 Charger HEMI wouldn't come out of park. I almost ripped the shifter off, I was so pissed. Started googling and found your vid. I was able to get the car moving again and when I got to work I called a friend who works at a Dodge wholesale parts counter. She ordered me the replacement. I was about to call a friend who is a mechanic to come help me out but then I decided it was time to nut up or shut up and do it my damn self. Using your video I was able to get the job done without any issues. My wife came into the garage and asked how it was going. I told her I got the job done and saved us about $500 in labor as well. A surprised expression , and then one of being genuinely impressed. She said well I think you earned yourself a sexy little surprise later. I fixed the car and got some action! God bless you sir!

Perhaps consider picking up a family 'hobby car with ongoing repairs 🤔 SeXy surprises on Steroids 🤪

Thanks for the help! Just did this on my car and it went really smooth. Dealer quoted me $550, fixed it myself for $8

Now thats a lot of money saved! Glad it turned out well and that you knew enough to do your research and to not say yes to that repair. Thanks for the feedback. Make sure to subscribe.

[@freshymaker6160]

I read somewhere there is a lifetime recall on this issue. I've been bypassing the shift interlock for a couple of years now lol. It kind of gives me a sense of security though knowing that mostly any person dumb enough to try and steal it won't be smart enough to get it out of park if I decide to leave it running. But I think its time I fix it. Thanks for the informative video, it was very professional and detailed.

[@richardcarmer2037]

I watched 7 different videos about this problem and yours is by far the best of them all. Thanks for being so thorough .

Thanks RIchard. I try to do what I can to give as much info and detail as possible. Its cool to hear that its helping. Thanks again and make sure to subscribe and share the videos.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

That comment Brian means alot. I still am taken back when I hear people say that and I am very much greatful. I am just glad that people find the channel and that the videos help them.

Well I took the Dodge Magnum I got from my Nephew who told me he had the shifter fixed.... Well I took it aprt and yes it had a new part installed but it was on the wrong side ... I put it on the left side and she shifts with on finger... Thank You

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Your welcome Brian.....that is the most common item I hear about when people due the repair....they dont pay attention to what side they position it in relation to the shifter handle. Great job on fixing the fix! lol.

[@jozehar9985]

I want to thank you for emphasizing the correct location of the shift interlock (6:50). I was about to install it incorrectly but fortunately came across your video. It saved me probably hours of rework. Much appreciated.

I have made that mistake once or twice....its easy to do. Appreciate you finding and watching the video. Make sure to subscribe and get ready for the weekend!

Found this video yesterday, after watching several others. Others I watched didn't mention removing the console. This turned out to be to key in getting the shifter assembly out. Very informative!

Thanks for stopping by the channel and checking the video out. Glad to see that it included everything that you needed. Sometime I think I add to much and worry I did add enough lol

Thank You for this quick tutorial. Thursday night, got off the train and ran into the same problem at the train station parking lot. luckily had tools in my trunk and tore out the center console on my 300, which allowed me to manually manipulate things to get the car in gear. Found the Dorman replacement at Pep Boys today for $28 dollars ($16 on amazon but I didn't want to wait). Took the shifter box apart, installed the metal Dorman replacement, put everything back and all's well again. (Thank You for the emphasis on the correct location of the shift interlock as well!!!) Love my 2005 300 limited, 238K miles on it and runs like a champ. But using plastic for tension/spring parts was just dumb of Chrysler. Thanks Again. Tutorial saved me about $200-250 in labor costs for a $16 dollar piece.

I was thinking of using a small eye hook and thread it into the broken plastic piece!Do you think that may also work?This just happened to my 2007 chrysler 300!

[@antione4543]

This just happened on my 300 this mornin and I started panicking because I was just driving the car with no issues. Watched both videos and this was 100% spot on the issue. Couldn’t believe it was just a plastic pink piece holding the spring. took maybe two hours of work. But saved me a trip to the dealer/auto repair place. Recommend if you have good beer and tools just do it yourself.

[@johnkrachtus965]

David is an amazing teacher. I had my Dodge dealer replace the shifter then submitted the bill to the SRT customer service for a full refund. I asked to keep the old shifter and following this video repaired it with ease. I now have a spare just in case.

Glad that the issue was taken care of. Once you know the cause....its a cheap fix. Hopefully you never need to use the spare. Thanks for the kind words and make sure to subscribe

Thank you, from Australia! Your video (parts 1 and 2) is the best video on this subject that can be found. Looking forward to confidently remobilizing my 300C once the replacement interlock part arrives.

[@FordF-vh1mh]

Thank you so much for the videos, my wife got stranded late last night in her 2005 300. Part 1 of your video showed me to get the car home, Part 2 showed how to fix it. AutoZone had the Dorman metal replacement part in stock, and it was a very simple fix by following your instructions. Wife thinks I am the greatest, even though I told her I watched the videos for the info. Thanks again. I would recommend anyone with one of these cars to replace it BEFORE it breaks, you never know when or where that will happen. She just recently took the car on a small road trip and I am so thankful that this part broke here and not hours away. But I suppose most people are only going to find this video after it breaks...I had no idea that this was a recall or any sort of issue.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Haha.....glad to see that your the hero! Cool to see that it worked out great in the end and that you were able to find a replacement piece. You had an issue.....and you researched and found a solution, my hats off to you. Thanks for finding my video and for letting me know how things went. Now make sure to subscribe because I have plenty more videos avail related to that vehicle as well

[@FordF-vh1mh]

Subscribed. I actually saw another of your videos before, racking my brain to think what it was. It looks like you do a lot of Mopar stuff so I assume it was for the 300, but I can't remember any other issues we've had with it besides the sway bar bushings going bad, and getting the front end clunk. I've replaced those 2 times now. So if you have a video of that, maybe that was it. Only other issue she's had that I can remember is the wiring for the license plate light slipping down by the muffler and it blowing the fuse for the tail lights. I'm a Ford guy but it's a very nice car, she wanted it for a long time and loves it like I love the F100, but they are a LOT different to work on! Can you suggest any other common issues for that 300 that can be addressed before they happen? Thank you again!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Lets start with what size engine first. Some need more maintenance then others. Yeah I have right at 333 videos now so I do cover alot of things but obviously not everything so far lol. But thats good because theres always subject matter that I can film.

[@FordF-vh1mh]

she has the 3.6 V6

[@MotorCityMechanic]

being that its a 2005 300....it would come with the 2.7, 3.5, or the 5.7 hemi. I assume the 3.5?

2 THUMBS DOWN when I couldn't shift into reverse out of my driveway. As well because Chrysler didn't advise me the original owner of 2006 C about this safety issue. I found out about CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER on the internet today. Spoke with 2 women @ Chrysler Group Recall Assistance Center who passed the buck back to C.G.R.A. Centre Canada where the women said you really know what you are talking about. Made my day! David your 2 part videos gets 2 THUMBS up & I'll let my #1 head mechanic Horace know how helpful this was. THANKS :)im n.b. the part is about $1.00 CDN no spring which I received free from a dealer.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

+MrJBeanJ You mean to tell me that someone higher up in Chrysler is actually watching my videos? Wow lol. I assume you found the video and not referred by them? Sorry you had that issue. Its an easy fix yet a big inconvenience especially when its not expected or known about. I still see wrecker drivers breaking the shifter when forcing it out of park from time to time. Thanks for the taking the time to find my channel and for watching. Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already.

[@MrJBeanJ]

+MotorCity Mechanic The higher ups in Chrysler need to be watching for comments on their products! They should of also recalled ALL vehicles with this problems. The customer service advised me that it had to due with the production date. Total B.S. this is a safety issue. I watched a video that had the same shifter which had a different console that didn't need to be removed. Sorry for taking so long too reply. :)im

[@MotorCityMechanic]

MrJBeanJ I feel your pain for sure. Some consoles don't need to be removed, just depends on the shifter assembly style. The other reason I show the console removal is that it makes it easier for the viewers to see exactly what I am speaking of as far the removal of the shifter. I have seen a lot that were not under the recall that needed it as well but its above my pay scale I suppose. You never know however.....they are constantly coming out with recalls on older models almost weekly for different issues. They don't play around with recalls any more.....practically every car that comes into the shop has a recall of some sort. Thanks for the reply back.

[@flowin100]

Many thanks to you sir for sharing this information. Your video has points that are so important that others left out. My shifter wouldn't just pop out like other videos after removing the four bolts. Loosening up the armrest was the only way. You're a blessing! (And showing the positioning of the new part was huge too!)

Your videeo helped me make the repair with a monetary cost of under $20 (for am aluminum...not plastic part) so....thanks......

I've always used the upgraded metal ones. Guarantee it'll never break again!

[@eklypse13]

Thank you very much!!!!! This video saved me a hefty repair bill. I replaced the part myself with an aluminum one. Shouldn't have this problem anymore.

+Adem1981 just search for Chrysler 300 shift interlock while on eBay and you will get a lot of items to choose from. You might want to check your local auto parts store as well.....Dorman makes a metal version and most parts stores carry Dorman

[@oldgreyhair]

Thank you, took about an hour and everything is working perfect, awesome video.....

[@bighurt1972]

Thank you for this video!! You saved me a lot of money and the video was step by step! I will say on the 2005 Chrysler 300C, I didn't have a second electrical plug to disconnect on the gearshift box. Other than that, this was spot on!

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Awesome....another successful repair! Thanks for using my video to fix your issue. Make sure to subscribe

[@mmadxoxo]

you are my hero :_D I just broke it and now I know how to fix it.. thanks a lot and God bless you..

[@MotorCityMechanic]

You are welcome. When you go to replace it.....make sure to see on what side of the shifter handle the pink piece is. Otherwise you will do fine. Thanks for finding my channel and for watching my video. Make sure to subscribe and check out my other videos.

Fixed mine today with the chunky metal one. Piece of cake

[@hellpitty]

Thanks my friend took me a hour and 2 beers to complete awesome video

[@jimtrue]

Great video!! Thank you for your help. Like everyone said, made the job a LOT easier. I was actually amazed at how easy I got it all back together. Bought the replacement kit from Cueter Dodge/Chrys in Ypsilanti. MI for $21.04. The replacement is white and does seems to be quite a bit beefier. One word of caution - the Dodge replacement "kit" comes with TWO different springs. An HORRIBLE "instructions" . The guy at the parts counter advised there was actually a service bulletin on this malfunction.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

Glad it all went well. Thanks for letting me know about your experience and for the added tips. Subscribe and check out my other videos.

[@JoeJPlane]

MotorCity Mechanic any chance you can make one for the parking brake release? Same vehicles. The lever pulled out and I don’t see a cable under there that it’s supposed to be attached to. Thanks

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I will certainly keep it in mind!

[@jasonmccallister484]

Great video. Helped me tremendously! I had the little tab on the wrong side of the shifter and it wouldn’t work right. Thanks!

[@oldcaptainrusty]

Great vids. Thanks for your time and efforts. The point you made about the tab being on the correct side of the shifter saved the day for me. Keep up the good work. Have liked and subscribed.

[@MotorCityMechanic]

[@rockhill609]

Great video. Not mechanically inclined here but sure helped get the car moving again and may or may not attempt the replacement of the part. Nice to know it is a less than twenty dollar part anyway.

[@flux101cdn]

Great video .... just had one in the shop! I'm surprised I haven't seen more of them.

[@tnybo13]

I just filled a small hole where plastic tab was. Then used a stiff wire to make a new connection point for spring. Works great

[@MotorCityMechanic]

I like to use a cotter pin.....works great, has a loop on the end and I just bend back the two legs and done. Thanks for watching and make sure subscribe Tom

[@johnathansmith3819]

David, I'll tell you an anecdote. In my view, life comes around in pairs, usually: Life and Death. Law and Mercy. Te and Coffee, and so on. My car got stuck in "P" at the entrance of a building and called CAA (I am Canadian, btw). He came; a complete Gentleman; taught me how to disengage the lock and then I could move my car. On my way home, I was stopped by the OPP (Ontario Police Patrol) and was given a ticket for "having a hand held device" (the phone was ON, but I was not speaking on it), for $700.00 CND (I am a 78 yo, and retired). Now, I will most certainly DO the job myself, thanks to you; very generous, btw. As you see, Mercy came before The Law, in this case. He will certainly receive the "reward of The Law" - as Paul said, for those who keep the Law above Mercy - which is death. Thank you again.
