Mobious9 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Hey everyone, To make a long story short, my Auto trans goes into gear and drives but the shifter wont go into park. So im thinking i need to rebuild the trans or get a working emergency break cable because mine will lock the breaks but will not release. I cant afford anything new off the net because im a college student on a budget, so i was hoping someone would have either one of these items collecting dust willing to sell for a decent price. I have a couple buddies in the local community college automotive program that can install it all for me. Thank god for who ya know lol. I was looking for: Rear right caliper Emergency break cable (coupe not 2+2) or anything that would make up an decent auto trans rebuild and might get the shifter back into park Thanks a lot everyone.

19762802+2 Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 Have you checked underneath the car? Its possible it won't go into park because of a problem with the linkage, I may be wrong though but it would be something to check, also the e-brake may be something simple if you haven't checked, might be easier to fix whats there then have to replace it. Where are you located? I do have a Auto trans I don't need and it works, I have driven it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i've checked the linkages, the bars coming from the shifter to the trans did seem to be a little lose, but then again they were connected with cotter pins so i expected a little play. I've tried lubing the ebreak cable but it still seems to lock up. I can manually open and close the calipers but when i pull the ebreak, and it locks, i have to go under the car and tap the caliper open. alot of work to park lol. And that trans sounds awesome but im way out here on the east coast, North carolina. Thanks for the insight man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 280ZX calipers are pretty notorious for the ebrake breaking. New calipers will probably fix the issue, unless the cable is frayed and that is what is holding the brake on. Can't really help on the auto trans.

Mobious9 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Thanks JM, your right the ebreak might be getting stuck because the rear right caliper dosnt work. Jsm lol I tried that for a while but I deliver pizzas and it got annoying. I guess ill go for fixing the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
