Camry Shifter

I have an 89 camry with an automatic transaxle the problem is i'm having trouble pulling it out of park the tranny shifts fine. The brake lights are working fine. When I depress the brake pedal the button on the shifter is hard to depress when i pull it out of park. I've been able to work with it to get it into drive. Could and adjustment to the shifter linkage be corrective course of action?

If it's one of these cars where you have to press on the brake to shift out of park, look at the brake light switch closely.

Also, a schematic of the release solenoid system will help you out and determine where the fault may lie.

shifter

would the brake switch cause the thumb button on the shifter itself to be hard to push in?

It would if the system requires that you push on the brake pedal to shift into gear.

Case in point: A bad brake light switch caused this same problem on my cousin's Taurus. 10 minutes later and a new switch, no more problems.

93 Ford Thunderbird. How much should I expect to pay for a paintjob? I don't want a $99 special, but this isn't a 68 Mustang either....it's still running well, but the clear coat stuff is coming off and the car looks like it has dandruff....some of the other side paint has streaks in it...so I need a decent paint job. Thoughts? What to ask for what to avoid? Thanks in advance as usual, and THANKS to all who helped me find my auto-trans fluid stick on the same car, man, did they hide that bugger or what? mw

What a surprise yesterday. I come home from work and there's a copy of "The History of the Firebird" by Mark Cranswick. This book is being retailed at Barnes and Noble. If you turn to page 81 and 87 of the book, you will find some very dear Pontiacs of mine......err, they are my cars in the book :) Yahoo!!! Page 81 has my 1979 10th Anniversary 400 4-speed T/A (exterior and engine shots) and page 87 has a great hood shot of my 1980 Turbo 301 with 27,000 original miles on it. As Pontiac said in 1979 on the 10th Anniversary, "Very Rare, Very Well Done". It's nice to see your cars in print. Long live the Old Pont :). Yay for GM rear drive! :)
