Help! My 997.1 Tiptronic Turbo Convertible won't shift out of park. Brake lights work and depressing brake releases shifter button, but shifter won't move. Trickle charged the battery - no help. Disconnected battery - no help (just have the PSM light on but that should go away once I can drive). Have heard of a solenoid in the shifter assembly that could be the culprit, but can't find any good DIY info on what to do. Can I purchase and just replace the solenoid or do I need to replace the entire shifter assembly? Anyone?

 

Same here. I managed to get it out of park a few times but now I leave it in neutral, use the hand brake but you need a small pin to get the key out.

Dont think its related to the brake though. No idea how to get to that solenoid.

hopefully someone comes up with something.
