I'm having some issues with my 1996 Mercury Grand Marquis...
It's like this..
One day, my shifting column (or whatever you call the lever that lets you select gears) just kinda went dead between reverse and neutral. Nothing happens there, it just slides around, it doesn't shift. All the other things it does are still the same, like locking from park position on the shifter to reverse, until you put the break, and requiring you to pull it back to force it into 2nd and 1st gear... It seems that it's slid off somehow..
What happens is, that sometimes park is reverse, sometimes neutral is reverse, drive is neutral, gear 2 is drive... it's everywhere! And more of a problem is that NOW, park is actually PARK alot less often, and about 80% of the time is REVERSE... It's REFUSING to go into park! This only happened last week, but it's getting worse!
What all could be wrong?
I also hear some kind of hiss, or click or something coming from the left side of the steering wheel underneath my knob for the headlights... it makes almost a squishing noise when I move it from where neutral should be to where drive should be....
