Gents;
I have an 89 5.7L OMC Cobra that recently began to be nearly impossible to shift out of gear. I first explored for a bound cable, but they all work nicely. In that exploration; on the back side of the shifter control lever I found what appeared to be a broken and jumped switch of some type. My electronic shift assist is not working. I manually checked that, and changed nothing. Could the jumped whatever on the back side of the shift lever somehow be related to the ESA not working? My Clymer manual mentions something about a shift interrupter switch on its wiring schematic. Could that be what that is?
I'd rather do more diagnostics than blindly replace the ESA module only to have it keep hard shifting.
Advice appreciated.
Thanks!!!
