Thanks so much for your video - there were lots with info on replacing the "pink thingy", but yours saved me from causing serious damage to my 2006 Pacifica while removing the console. Rather than repairing the part I actually bought a metal duplicate part on Amazon for less than $20, including overnight shipping. I am definitely NOT a mechanic and I was able to do the entire job myself with no real complications. I appreciate your posting this video - you ARE helping the world!
This video saved me so much tho. This is still the only video for a 2005 chrysler pacifica gear shift lol. All the other videos are for newer pacificas and other chrysler models
I look at others video, but yours was the most explicit. Thank you very much I was able to fix my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica with your video. Instead of using any glue I opened a small whole with a drill and inserted a clip. I am a 67 years old lady with arthritis in my hands and I did it alone, but before I started I decided to take my time. I found a place where they sell the part and it is made of metal instead of plastic. It is called Parts Geek and the name of the part is Shift Interlock Latch.
this was a great step by step video. ours was a 2008 pacifica, but there were similarities enough to use the video, step by step, backwards and forwards until it was done. magnificent. you saved us time, frustration and hundreds of dollars. chrysler -- seriously???????
Came back from vaca, was was hot while gone and our 07 Pacifica was baking. With your vid, found broken hook hole on pink assy, did the same 'fix' with wire (we used spiral notebook) and reassembled. Working! Many thanks for 'helping the world'. Fly Eagles Fly!
Thank you for this video. This video made my disassembly, repair and reassembly a breeze. from start to finish in less than 45 minutes. Can't thank you enough!!!
Thank you very much for the excellent video. It only took me 90 minutes, plus a lot of time cleaning 14 years of gunk off the console. Mine is a 2006 Pacifica and I used the Dorman 924-706 replacement. $17.00 on Amazon.
Hello, and a big THAN YOU. our pacifica was doing same thing , wouldn't go out of park. After video after video, your video sparked something in my wife. I was at work and i get this text. I have most if it tore apart, sent pics and all. So when i came home i ordered the small part, (which was metal from my local parts store) in like the plastic one from the factory. Long story short, all fixed, shifts fine, so thanks foe sharing the video. Awesome job too
I had the exact same problem (and my battery died too) and your video led me to success. Thanks a MILLION, MILLION!!! & Dude, you are sooo lucky!! You have a super cool boss wife!!
The part that broke is now available as a aftermarket part from Dorman. It's made out of aluminum and not likely to break, it also comes with a new spring and good instructions. One thing that has to be done is the ign key interlock has to be adjusted in order to remove the key after the shift assembly has been reinstalled. There is a white cover on the key cable that has to be removed then you just push the black outer cable towards the rear until the key may be removed and then while holding the outer cable in that position push the white cable lock back in place. Everything should work as designed after that. The Dorman part number is 924-706 and is readily available at any auto parts store.
I used your method as well and it saved me time and money. Thanks so much for showing us this video. It's the simple things you discover that you would never think to make a video about. I am so glad you guys did. I did the same thing as Decesare6. I drilled a hole as well and stuck a wire loop thru and it works great. Thanks again...
Thanks for your video!! With your video and another written post with detailed instructions, the job was completed easily! I picked up a replacement kit from Chrysler. Fortunately, it appears the replacement part is more robust. Thanks again for taking the time to help others out!
This was absolutely amazing!!!! I was able to take ours apart by following some other instructions added on to what you all displayed/video recorded. Thank you so much for making this much easier and so helpful for a first timer! Blessings to both of you and I am also glad to know there is a couple out there who can work so calmly and pleasantly together! Hope life is good to you both.
Thanks a lot, a few years later, your video still saved me a ton of money and helped me not totally screw up my car. Some of what you did was unnecessary, but I understand where you're coming from. You're a lot like me, you just figure it out as you go! :)
I'm found your video *after* purchasing the metal Dorman replacement for the pink plastic part. Like you said, they're about $35 and up at the local stores, but I got it off Amazon for under $20. There's another video about all that, but that's a good idea with the epoxy and ornament hanger!
thank you for this video on how to fix this issue with the shift being stuck. this video is really helpful and I was able to fix my problem. I recommend this video to anyone trying to save some money.
"Ohhh you're taping all of this" Husband "Yes...we're helping the world!" Wife Lol loved it, really thanks sooo much just got done with my car and honestly I am a girl that knows nothing about fixing cars, I really am grateful you made this video! THANK YOU!
Thank you. my friend needed to replace the pink thingy. ordered a new one on eBay for about 17.00 stronger piece. took him about 3 hours to repair. he has a 2016 Chrysler Pacifica. yes all those pieces need to be removed to get to the piece. probably saved a good 400.00 just with labor charges. you got it girl thanks so much for the video
Thank you both for this candid reassemble. I just finished fixing my Pacifica with the same issue. I also modified the little pinkie thing by drilling a 1/16" hole into the plastic and then screwing in this tiny eyehook that I found in a workbench in my garage. Worked like a charm. Again thanks so much and I loved listening to the dialogue between you guys during your repair. All the best, keep loving each other, keep trying to save the world and may you be blessed with beautiful new Bragg additions.
I am guessing your car was stuck in park. That pink assembly I believe is connected to the brake. It is a safety so you have to have your foot on the brake to take it out of park. The spring I believe is connected to the electric safety. I am having a clicking noise when I put it in park and when I apply the brake in park. I am guessing the spring on that pink piece on my car is going bad. This must be a common problem and if you have to rig it to fix it because the part isn't available that probably means a shop wouldn't fix it. I probably will have to do the same thing in this video and don't want to wait until it gets stuck in park to do it.
I just want to say that it was so easy following your video and I was saying to myself if she can do it I can do it thank you again I fix my moms car she thought it was the transmission I saw your video and you explained it step by step thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for the video!! Didn't take me too long, my son helped unscrew certain sections.I actually found the part (aluminum) at Autozone for just about 38.00 tax included.It took not even an hour to do. Thanks again!!
This helped a lot. I drilled a little whole with a screw for my fix. Also the black cover goes on last not at the same time. And I put the gear shift on last too. Makes it way easier to put it back on. Thanks!
Just got finished doing my friend's car had to make some adjustments to the spring and also to the clip that has ribs on it that you can adjust which goes to the ignition key release mechanism.
thanks alot guys! Fixed mine this morning after checking your vid and a couple other related ones. I found a few short cuts but knowing what everything looked like underneath was really helpful!
+FolkGuy11 thx guys I replace it with the metal peice instead. I was unable to move my seats which made it very difficult but not impossible. I was unable to remove the console completely dued to the fact my chairs will not move."electronical problem" I was able to left console up enough to get to the part I needed to replace. it wasn't easy but thank God I got it done. I couldn't have done it without this video. Thanks again..
I've watched this video about a 15x! all said and done, it was 1 1/2 worth of work. I take care of my 07 limited 4.0L Awd. for a 07 it's freaking loaded with options! got Michelin premier LTX tires on it. new starter going to a secondary ground, new e.g.r, new gear shift assembly, new fuel pump,fuel, new tension belt,water pump,timing belt,K&N air filter, next on to do list... shocks and struts. great family crossover awd suv,wagon. I'm o.c.d on services and tune ups. 145,000 miles
+Daniel Bragg you guys are awesome, same thing happen to my Pacifica.. what is that peice called that you replaced ...I have to purchase that soon, I'm going to try to do mine sometime soon..thx guys
THANK YOU!!! THIS JUST HAPPENED TO ME! I never work on cars but I really want to fix this myself, this video has helped tremendously! I will be attempting it in just a few hours, wish me luck! PS you are right about everything being about the Chrysler 300, it was rather annoying
I studied your video and it was very helpful locating the screws, but you did not need to disassemble the indicator or remove the shift knob. Once the shifter was out I just position the shifter back to the drive position and popped the bottom tabs so that the shifter interlock lever is accessible. I saw this on another video. The lever will slip up off the shaft and the rest is easy. Also I purchase the new part from the dealership for $8.00. Your where right it, was $35.00 at the parts houses.
Just a FYI, regular petroleum based grease will deteriorate plastic over time, when lubing most plastic parts use a synthetic grease like silicone grease which you can get a small tube from a plumbing supply store or section of a big box store, it is used on the seals and O-rings in faucets etc. Also, Super Lube is a silicone based grease you can get at any auto parts stores and big box stores also but it's a bigger tube or tub and more expensive, also dielectric grease is basically the same thing you can get in small tubes and even in the little packets up by the auto parts stores counter for like one time use.
thank you so much for this instruction video!! saved me so much! I will make sure to post a video to help the world with something I figure out in order to pass it on :)
Thank you both for the video, my fiance just had this same problem a few hours ago while she was at work at the hospital. I haven't disassembled things yet to know for sure if the same thing happened but I'm betting that it is, I'll find out tomorrow...
THANK YOU SHARING! I made my own small mistakes, but I started at 9:30 am and was driving my car by noon. My car has been sitting in my driveway for two weeks. Afraid of a costly repair bill. Easy Peasy
Thanks for sharing, Any reason why my key won't come out when the metal piece that is attached to the lever. So I disconnected it now my key comes out. I guess my question is, is there a way to adjust it?
Thanks for the detailed video!! I fixed mine earlier today, I watched a few different Videos, yours with wire, anothers with drilling hole & buying new spring. I just found a small Key chain ring that fit right over the pink arm, up against were the tab broke off🤙 When putting all back together, drove myself CRAZY for close to a hour, trying to find out a wire connector that I could not find where it goes😓 I used to work on Jet Aircraft in the United States Navy, never leave anything hanging, loose, disconnected, etc... I see on your car, you have a switch next to the ash tray🤔 Please, what is that switch for?? My car does not have that switch, just the wire connector hanging😮😮😮
Thanks!!! Saved me a huge expense...it’s going to be a small headache to repair it...but I️ think hubby and I️ can get it done! I️ almost went and bought another car this morning...
Thanks! Stranded with very few tools and lots of time but got it going with your knowledge and some JB WELD! Two hours and on the road! thank you thank you!
You made so much more work on yourself by taking apart the whole console. You can take out the shifter just by removing the bolts underneath the plastic bezel. Just FYI.
It happened to my wife as she was leaving her work. So how do you remove the shift stick? Is it necessary to remove. I bought the part for less then 9.00 dollars, but need to remove ball 1st?
Hey I've dropped stiff down there before, most recently my car key. I had to remove the whole middle part and everything underneath it to get my car key. Plus my battery also died as well hahahahaha. You just have to get pass a lot more screws and some wires. You don't necessarily need to take the seats out either unless you wanna do the whole floor or half of it
Thanks so much for ur video! Now i'm not looking forward to disasembling the console. I had my towed and the pink button is suppose to overide it manually providing that piece wasn't broken in the first place....
Thanks..the pink plastic broke spent 20 minutes trying to find the spring..found it and drilled a whole unit and put a clip on it no sense of buying another its gonna happen again
I wish you had begun showing the part as you 1st discovered it when it was broken. If I don't want to fix it myself, I still need to get it to shift out of park so I can drive it to the dealership and avoid tow charges. Your video showed me how to remove the complete console but now--how do I trigger it to come out of park? Can you advise me?
The broken piece is actually what is keeping it from coming out of park. We couldn't figure out a way to get it out of park, so we decided to take it apart, instead of have it towed.
Daniel Bragg I took mine apart using your video as MAJOR guidance. On mine --as I guess yours was..--the tiny retaining hook that allows the spring to attach to the pink part was broken off and the spring was detached. I went to the Chrysler dealer and they had the part which costs $18. It was a redesign ---heavier and came with 2 new springs. Apparently, this was a problem because they had 3 in stock and the parts guy knew what I was talking about before I finished my explanation. Thank you very much for your video. You've helped me a lot and saved me well over $125 in towing expenses.
Damn I should of looked at ur video n dun the same thing.. jus mcguyver rug it instead I ordered the part but in metal for $20.. could of saved $20 if I 1st saw ur video!!
Hi All - at 16:09 in the video there is a cable that connects near the ashtray. Does anyone know what this wire goes to? I have it on my vehicle, but don't see a mating connector.
Excuse me by chance you have the technical name of the piece to be able to buy it since the same thing happened to me and I do not know what that piece is called Thanks in advance for the video I was very helpful
A couple of tips for anyone trying this at home... I didn't have to separate the metal ring from the leather shift knob on the '06 I worked on -- just unscrew the whole knob with the flange still attached. Some of the videos for the similar Chrysler 300 look like you *do* have to remove the flange first, as the rod didn't appear to be threaded. Also, I didn't have to pull as many screws from behind the center console as was done in this video. The two in the console, the two in the cup holders, and the two horizontal ones in the front (and maybe two more near the shifter) were enough, plus the six near the floor that hold the cover on to the sides. Take the shifter into a good work area before unsnapping the top part further, and keep an eye out for the original spring and the broken plastic piece. I never found the spring in mine, but the Dorman 924-706 kit I used came with one. Also test the shift lock cable alignment before you get it all put together. It's self adjusting if you lift the white lock snap up, put it in park and snap it back down (or something like that). You probably won't have this problem if you didn't get curious like me and lift it in the first place. Depending on your model, you may have an unused three-wire connector branching off the near the left cigarette lighter port (orange/tan, black/white, green/white). This is for some optional feature that I don't have, but you might, so don't sweat it if you didn't remember disconnecting it. In addition to this video on this channel, watch this other one as well to help make the job go smoothly. th-cam.com/video/sXwu2BhA-wU/w-d-xo.html
That pink tab in the rear of the gear selector is a quick release and will free up the selector yours must have been broken. I've used it four times twice on my vehicle with two different gear shift assembly's and twice on vehicles of other pacifica owners..just use a flat head screwdriver or nailfile or pocket knife or any firm flat object you can slide in the space an push that pink tab at the right rear of the gear selector just pop up the square silver frame around the gear selector or what ever color yours is using any of the tools listed even your fingernails it's that easy and the pink tab can be seen. make sure the vehicles on and your foot is pressing down on the brake pedal. it will release. trust me I released mine everyday for nearly a month that way. there are a couple of reasons. why this happens a brake solenoid or a faulty anti theft system namely the car alarm isn't disengageing. But no matter which symptom your vehicle has that pink tab will free your gear shift.
PS...Is it just mostly Chrysler brand like 300 and Pacifica because heard that these two been having issue with the stick shift sticking in Park. Tow truck operator had to manually release the cable and switch the plastic lever near engine to get to neutral so he can tow it.
what sucks is that i have to remove the circular rubber protector sleeve and rectanglular sleeve part that goes in between the stick and under the plastic consonsole thingy and switch it....uggh......oh well...
Yes. LOL. You have to remove the stuff connected to the back pink button and you are good to go. Warning: You don't have to have your foot on the break any more to switch it out of Park so be careful.

Not the cleanest video but by far most helpful! Thanks for helping the world!
Thanks so much for your video - there were lots with info on replacing the "pink thingy", but yours saved me from causing serious damage to my 2006 Pacifica while removing the console.

I am definitely NOT a mechanic and I was able to do the entire job myself with no real complications. I appreciate your posting this video - you ARE helping the world!
I seriously would have given up on this without this video. SUPER helpful. Thank you thank you so much for taking the time to film this!

I'm so glad it's still helping people!!! Good job!

Thank you. my friend needed to replace the pink thingy. ordered a new one on eBay for about 17.00 stronger piece. took him about 3 hours to repair. he has a 2016 Chrysler Pacifica. yes all those pieces need to be removed to get to the piece. probably saved a good 400.00 just with labor charges. you got it girl thanks so much for the video
Thank you both for this candid reassemble. I just finished fixing my Pacifica with the same issue. I also modified the little pinkie thing by drilling a 1/16" hole into the plastic and then screwing in this tiny eyehook that I found in a workbench in my garage. Worked like a charm.

Yes, the back pink button is to bypass the brake pedal switch.
The pink part that breaks also locks in park, allows to remove key out of ignition.
I just want to say that it was so easy following your video and I was saying to myself if she can do it I can do it thank you again I fix my moms car she thought it was the transmission I saw your video and you explained it step by step thank you thank you thank you
Thanks for the video!! Didn't take me too long, my son helped unscrew certain sections.I actually found the part (aluminum) at Autozone for just about 38.00 tax included.It took not even an hour to do. Thanks again!!

Thank you times a few hundred bucks !!! great video so helpful !!!!
I'm glad it was helpful!!
Huge thanks to you for posting this video. Super easy to follow and coincidentally the exact solution to the problem we had! God bless!
Excellent video and really helping alot!!
This helped a lot. I drilled a little whole with a screw for my fix. Also the black cover goes on last not at the same time. And I put the gear shift on last too. Makes it way easier to put it back on. Thanks!

I have to do the same thing to my Pacifica...but do I have to move my car seats all the way back because my electric car seat is not working
Da Lifespeaker it just makes it easier to reach the screws.
+FolkGuy11 thx guys I replace it with the metal peice instead. I was unable to move my seats which made it very difficult but not impossible. I was unable to remove the console completely dued to the fact my chairs will not move."electronical problem" I was able to left console up enough to get to the part I needed to replace. it wasn't easy but thank God I got it done.

Thanks for sharing,
Any reason why my key won't come out when the metal piece that is attached to the lever. So I disconnected it now my key comes out. I guess my question is, is there a way to adjust it?
Thank you! Very helpful.
Thank you alot and God Bless you .
lucky man thank y'all for the help
Thanks for the detailed video!!
I fixed mine earlier today, I watched a few different Videos, yours with wire, anothers with drilling hole & buying new spring.
I just found a small Key chain ring that fit right over the pink arm, up against were the tab broke off🤙
When putting all back together, drove myself CRAZY for close to a hour, trying to find out a wire connector that I could not find where it goes😓
I used to work on Jet Aircraft in the United States Navy, never leave anything hanging, loose, disconnected, etc...
I see on your car, you have a switch next to the ash tray🤔
Please, what is that switch for??
My car does not have that switch, just the wire connector hanging😮😮😮
Thanks!!! Saved me a huge expense...it’s going to be a small headache to repair it...but I️ think hubby and I️ can get it done! I️ almost went and bought another car this morning...
I️ don’t know why my phone keeps putting those question marks everywhere...thanks a million!!!!
Perfectly Presented. I like the reverse order actually. I bought the new part just cause.
Do you know what the name of that part was? The dealers around me want to charge me for the entire $500 assembly of course!
Thanks this help me. So much
Glad our video is still helpful!!
very good video thanks for the info
Thanks! Mines an 04 a little different we will see how this goes
I'm glad it is still helping people!!
Thanks! Stranded with very few tools and lots of time but got it going with your knowledge and some JB WELD! Two hours and on the road!
thank you thank you!
Trying to fix the same issue. How do you disconnect the power outlet that leads to the back of the console?
Thank you sooo much,your awesome.
You made so much more work on yourself by taking apart the whole console. You can take out the shifter just by removing the bolts underneath the plastic bezel. Just FYI.
You’re a lucky dude...she’s mechanically inclined and hawt!
Great video......
It happened to my wife as she was leaving her work. So how do you remove the shift stick? Is it necessary to remove. I bought the part for less then 9.00 dollars, but need to remove ball 1st?
It seems so hard to do mine was working fine how much does it cost to have this repaired at shop
Thank you sooooooooooooo much. I have to fix mine
chrysler needs to build better parts the hook bit that connect to that pink part that snap is so skinny. happened to my chrysler 300c same part!
Hey I've dropped stiff down there before, most recently my car key. I had to remove the whole middle part and everything underneath it to get my car key. Plus my battery also died as well hahahahaha. You just have to get pass a lot more screws and some wires. You don't necessarily need to take the seats out either unless you wanna do the whole floor or half of it
Thanks so much for ur video! Now i'm not looking forward to disasembling the console. I had my towed and the pink button is suppose to overide it manually providing that piece wasn't broken in the first place....
Thank you so much. Where can i order it? Also what would you call it? Thank you
thank you soo much...
again, thank you. all fixed. 👍
Thanks..the pink plastic broke spent 20 minutes trying to find the spring..found it and drilled a whole unit and put a clip on it no sense of buying another its gonna happen again
this helped
I'm glad it's still helping people!
What is the name of the part
I wish you had begun showing the part as you 1st discovered it when it was broken. If I don't want to fix it myself, I still need to get it to shift out of park so I can drive it to the dealership and avoid tow charges. Your video showed me how to remove the complete console but now--how do I trigger it to come out of park? Can you advise me?
The broken piece is actually what is keeping it from coming out of park. We couldn't figure out a way to get it out of park, so we decided to take it apart, instead of have it towed.

I took mine apart using your video as MAJOR guidance. On mine --as I guess yours was..--the tiny retaining hook that allows the spring to attach to the pink part was broken off and the spring was detached. I went to the Chrysler dealer and they had the part which costs $18. It was a redesign ---heavier and came with 2 new springs. Apparently, this was a problem because they had 3 in stock and the parts guy knew what I was talking about before I finished my explanation.
Thank you very much for your video. You've helped me a lot and saved me well over $125 in towing expenses.
whats the replacement aluminum part called?
Dorman 924-706 Chrysler/Dodge Transmission Shift Interlock Latch
I’m sorry, but what is the name of the piece?
Damn I should of looked at ur video n dun the same thing.. jus mcguyver rug it instead I ordered the part but in metal for $20.. could of saved $20 if I 1st saw ur video!!
Now you know to loom ahead lol!!
Hi All - at 16:09 in the video there is a cable that connects near the ashtray. Does anyone know what this wire goes to? I have it on my vehicle, but don't see a mating connector.
On my 2008 Chrysler Pacifica, this cable connects to the 'ESP OFF' button to the left of the ashtray.
Thank you so much
Would this work for front wheel drive?
Victoria Fuller that's what this was.
Excuse me by chance you have the technical name of the piece to be able to buy it since the same thing happened to me and I do not know what that piece is called
Thanks in advance for the video I was very helpful

A couple of tips for anyone trying this at home... I didn't have to separate the metal ring from the leather shift knob on the '06 I worked on -- just unscrew the whole knob with the flange still attached. Some of the videos for the similar Chrysler 300 look like you *do* have to remove the flange first, as the rod didn't appear to be threaded. Also, I didn't have to pull as many screws from behind the center console as was done in this video. The two in the console, the two in the cup holders, and the two horizontal ones in the front (and maybe two more near the shifter) were enough, plus the six near the floor that hold the cover on to the sides. Take the shifter into a good work area before unsnapping the top part further, and keep an eye out for the original spring and the broken plastic piece. I never found the spring in mine, but the Dorman 924-706 kit I used came with one.
Also test the shift lock cable alignment before you get it all put together. It's self adjusting if you lift the white lock snap up, put it in park and snap it back down (or something like that). You probably won't have this problem if you didn't get curious like me and lift it in the first place.
Depending on your model, you may have an unused three-wire connector branching off the near the left cigarette lighter port (orange/tan, black/white, green/white). This is for some optional feature that I don't have, but you might, so don't sweat it if you didn't remember disconnecting it.
In addition to this video on this channel, watch this other one as well to help make the job go smoothly. th-cam.com/video/sXwu2BhA-wU/w-d-xo.html
That pink tab in the rear of the gear selector is a quick release and will free up the selector yours must have been broken. I've used it four times twice on my vehicle with two different gear shift assembly's and twice on vehicles of other pacifica owners..just use a flat head screwdriver or nailfile or pocket knife or any firm flat object you can slide in the space an push that pink tab at the right rear of the gear selector just pop up the square silver frame around the gear selector or what ever color yours is using any of the tools listed even your fingernails it's that easy and the pink tab can be seen. make sure the vehicles on and your foot is pressing down on the brake pedal. it will release. trust me I released mine everyday for nearly a month that way. there are a couple of reasons. why this happens a brake solenoid or a faulty anti theft system namely the car alarm isn't disengageing. But no matter which symptom your vehicle has that pink tab will free your gear shift.
PS...Is it just mostly Chrysler brand like 300 and Pacifica because heard that these two been having issue with the stick shift sticking in Park. Tow truck operator had to manually release the cable and switch the plastic lever near engine to get to neutral so he can tow it.
Yes, it seems that Chrysler really dropped the ball with the 300 and Pacifica.
what sucks is that i have to remove the circular rubber protector sleeve and rectanglular sleeve part that goes in between the stick and under the plastic consonsole thingy and switch it....uggh......oh well...
Camera needs to be held more secure. My eyes went buggies. Nice
I WONDER IF YOU CAN JUST REMOVE IT ALL TOGETHER! WOULD IT STILL WORK....
Yes. LOL. You have to remove the stuff connected to the back pink button and you are good to go. Warning: You don't have to have your foot on the break any more to switch it out of Park so be careful.
With all that headache work I'll be smoking a bowl after that job
Tengo una pacifica 2005, el acelerador pedal está muerto.. prende pero No acelera pedal muerto.. alguien k me diga k debo hacer?? Atte. Irma G.
