2007 Cadillac STS - Sticky shifter

Shifter handle sticks in park.

Thanks for the detailed description of what and when this happens… lol

Check to see if your brake lights are working when the shifter “sticks”…

Or stop drinking fancy coffee and or milkshakes etc etc and spilling you drink of choice on/around the shifter, sticky liquids make things sticky…

TSB 07-07-30-032B – Ignition key sticks, shifter binds, “shift to park” message displayed, dead battery – 5L40 Transmission | 5L50 Transmission | 6L50 Transmission | 6L80 Transmission
2007 – 2008 Cadillac SRX – 2007 – 2008 Cadillac STS – 2007 – 2008 Cadillac STS-V – 2008 Cadillac CTS
Problem – Owners may notice that the shifter seems to bind when shifting into gear or park. The ignition key may stick or be difficult to remove (SRX only). A “shift to park” message may be constantly displayed in the driver information display screen, resulting in a dead battery.
Solution – These transmission problems may be caused by out of adjustment shift linkage, a slow Brake Transmission Shift Interlock mechanism, or a Park Confirmation microswitch that is not closed.
