So I was driving home from Subway and stopped a little hard at a light and lost a whole cherry Coke that was sitting on the floor in a carrier. There was another one that didn't spill so I quickly picked it up to put it in a rear cup holder. Well I didn't notice but I guess it was dripping a lot and some dripped onto the shifter and into the groove (this is an auto). It couldn't have been much, it wasn't a SPILL into the shifter, but I definitely saw some sitting in the groove. I cleaned it, but some must have gotten inside because ever since later that night my shifter is occasionally hard to move and makes an icky sound when I move it. That was around Christmas and it's been a few months now, it works fine and I can always move it but sometimes just a little tough and makes a sound. I have inspection next month and would like them to take it apart and clean it, is this a big thing to do? About how much could it cost?

Thanks.

 

just pull up the interior peices yourself and clean it..just pull and then they pop out at least they do ona manual.

 

i had to check this thread out casue at 1st i was like Ok he means soda.... but i had to check it out to see if maybe you meant something else by Coke.

 

Haha yeah I dunno if the other one would be better or worse!

Okay maybe I'll give some pieces a tug and see what happens. Perhaps only the top most area needs cleaned, like right under the groove.

 

Stop sniffing on your dashboard..............just kidding.

Pull on the pieces and have a go at it with a damp rag.

 

damn gl with that
