I have a 2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring (4cyl / automatic / 95K miles) that has a loose gear shifter.
These are my symptoms:
I Checked
These are my symptoms:
- Gear shifter is very loose especially between Neutral and Drive. I have to firmly push it to D or N and it will still be loose.
- Park and Reverse feel most normal; 3rd to 2nd little tight.
- Practically impossible to move the shifter between 2nd to 1st.
- Display will go blank at least once while moving the shifter and can often stay blank.
- Display often misreads D for N, R for D, etc.
- Display was not an issue at first but now goes blank or misreads each time I start up and move the shifter.
- Transmission does not slip out of gear when driving
- Transmission shifts fine when driving.
- Car got stuck in Park a few times.
- Brake lights function normally.
- No check engine light, no ABS light and no Transmission lights have come on.
I Checked
- Neutral safety switch nuts were not loose nor too tight. No rust and visually it seemed to operate ok.
- Car has not gotten stuck in Park since I removed and put back the neutral safety switch (may be coincidence?) but every other problem remains.
Would this issue likely be a worn bushing at the gear shifter or a bad neutral safety switch?
