Troubleshooting a problem with a 2001 acura tl?

Question:
my car sometimes won't shift into gear. I can manually override by inserting a key or other object into the small slot next to the gear shift. My mechanic can't find the problem because it is so sporadic...any advice?

Answers:

Does anyone know why the horn on my 2003 Honda CRV sounds 5 quick beeps by itself every few hours?

your brake switch probably has a loose ground. it is located above the brake pedal linkage,and or it just has to be adjusted. check fuse first under driver dash . it will also not work if you spilled any liquid down the shifter.

In some vehicles, this is achieved with a cable, and in others it is an electrical circuit, using a solenoid to make it work...
