car unable to startup at 'P', but shift to 'N' will do!

[swgiant]

Almost each morning, the car unable to be started at 'P' position. Have to shift to 'N' and start the car. Is it a gearbox starting failure symptom? Anybody experience this before?

What car r u driving?

Experience it before in myvi, the gear indicator on meter gone.
The car can't start.

i shake the gear stick until the gear indicator pop out and the car can finally start.
The guy in SC say it is the switch problem and they lubricate it.

Maybe u can try shake/adjust the gearstick and start. ( jus shake it no need change to R,N, )

try and check the gbox sensor. my previous experience due to dirty gbox connector thus the car cant start.

if the gear box sensor problem then is it a big cost to repair ?

no need to repair because the SC opened, cleaned and put it back together. i was only charged at RM20 for labour.

to what extend ur problem im unsure, thus the cost may varies.
what car ur driving?

90' of honda accord inspire cb5.
Asked few of workshops and they mentioned that the symptom is likely a gearbox sensor/switch problem.
Although it is a small problem however cb5 part really hard to be sourced!
RM 400+ for a new unit, have to wait for a week as imported from other country.

Yup, probably the gear stick / gear box sensor....

That is the problem driving recon and/or direct imported cars.....
