Hello, I pulled in to my drive and the car in to park and when I went to leave again later I couldn't get the car out of park. I have read that it is most likely the little plastic piece in the shifter box but I cannot remove it because there is a pin over the front hex bolt. I believe the car has to be out of park to retract this pin but we cant move it out of park because of the I believe broken plastic inside the shifter box. Would it be safe to cut the pin remove the sifter box and do I need to insert another plastic piece or can I leave it without it. I think I have ruled out the brake light switch because the brake lights work and if I listen I hear a click of what I believe to be the solenoid inside the shifter box when pressing the brake. This is the pin I am talking about, pic is not my car but from google.
