This is happening to many of us.

Go to the Op + Maint, forum, this site, for a field fix that may allow you to drive to the dealer or home. Or your dealer will send a truck to haul your car in. Good luck. A2Jack.

It would be nice if there was a simple way to just SQUIRT soem lubricant into the shifter rather than have to dissemble it to gain access!!?

It definitely worked for me! Spray alittle into the small space to the tops and sides, holding a rag under the knob to catch runover.

"Tops and sides" of WHAT? The gearshift button?

Are you having problems getting it out of gear? I have had that problem and don't know what is wrong.
