Hi,
What can I do to solve this issue. The past year or so my automatic 09 plate vauxhall corsa has had a problem where once it's in park it gets stuck in park and you can't change the gears at all.
When this first happened I just turned on and started the engine on & off a few times and it would start moving into the other gears again but last 5 months ago it's just permanently stuck in park. The only way to stop this is to lift the unit around the gear and press the yellow button down which releases the emergency gear part and allows it to move freely. I've asked 2 mechanics about this and they said the whole gear part would have to be replaced and they quoted me £600! but I have seen others online say it could be a soldering/solenoid problem so is there anyone who can help me out.
Many thanks,
