PINK THINGY with a hook screwed into it!

[D-LASH]

This is out there for whoever needs it. ....its GONNA HAPPEN!! Mine broke at 80k miles, next day after the shindig. Just glad it was in my driveway, and not 360 miles away in GA!
So, I rigged this up while I waited for my rockauto version...(guess its aluminium, it didnt stick to my magnet tray) But, I figured, if ya need it, TAKE it! PM and get that POS outta here! ....spring inluded (the replacements have a slightly bigger spring.....and they attach to a METAL!! hook) ...picture to be added

I ordered one before I went to Ga. and it still sits in my console. Gota get this on pronto.

Tee bought the last one that BT had at the Shindig... however we need THREE more!!! Sigh.... Guess we'll just hold onto this one in case one car's of our brakes in the cars. We'll be saving up to get three more, believe that!

I think the RockAuto 1 was like $18...then after $10 s&h I really wish I BT had a few more last weekend!

BT's stuff is GREAT quality but a little on the pricey side! Guess you get what you pay for! I was a little surprised they didn't bring a whole truckload of stuff with them to sell!

i so need to get one of those

In case you want to see one:



This is the pink thing that breaks (that little hook):




You can also drill a hole in the pink thing and use a cotter pin to hook the spring onto.

I need to get me a BT replacement just to have on hand but thanks to Nyinstaller's advise, I don't think I'll be stuck on the side of the road if mine does break..

its a 'shift interlock latch' technically, commonly know as the Pink Thingy!
Basically.... its gonna break!! Not if, but when. I think I seen why...It looks like the plastic hook might just eventually get cut by the spring constantly moving. So, you need to replace it. Because when it does break...your stuck in park. You can get lucky and get it released to get home an order 1.... you can get a spare in the glove box....ORRRRR.... you can do the wise thing, and just replace it. BTW .... i would've DEFINITELY bought 1 at the ShinDig. ...(my response when I seen T's, ' ...YES!! they got them!? DAMN thats the last 1!?')Anyway, big THANX to NYinstaller for a quick guide last night
