I agree that test pipes have nothing to do with your current problem. But suppose you were unlucky enough to encounter an old fashioned dealer service rep who thinks like me. Maybe he has a family member at home suffering from a respiratory illness. He would hear those test pipes as you drove up and would choose to have nothing to do with you.

Pity does it actually go into park? I know you say the button doesn't pop out, but does the vehicle stay still like it is in park? If so it's probably just a sensor or something small. If it stays in reverse I would imagine it's a bigger problem.

It goes into park. And the LCD display says park. I'm pretty sure the senor doesn't read it because the button isn't popping out/white mechanism (for those who have at) isn't coming up. I think it's a bad spring.

There is always a choice. You could have declined the AT (at the cost of not having a car at all).

Hey I'm experiencing the same exact problem. Can I know where you got your shifting mechanism from? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

bumping an old post....
Anyways you will need to double check on the part number since there are multiple revs (although there may not be too much different on them) Infiniti Parts - Infiniti parts.
Also its possible its not the shift assembly that has failed. On the bottom of the car where the assembly attaches to the "shift rod" (made that up) it can be adjusted via a slot. Its possible that the shift assembly has moved in the slot and causing it to not register.

Right! I was freaked out thought it was a tyranny problem at first. I think in my case the it's the shift rod thing your talking about . I can see that it is not going in properly. If you have any info on how to fix it I'd appreciate it! Thanks for the reply!
