The gear changing thing on my Honda broke. Can I fix it or do I need a mechanic?

Question

I drive an automatic car and the top part where you press down to change gears broke. I feel like I can fix it and it doesn't seem like a big problem, but don't know how. Help me please! I drive a 98 Honda Accord.

Answer 3

if its just the shift k**b it comes off quite easily.  there are two screws on the sides of the gearshift know about 1" up from the bottom of the k**b.  take the two screws out and it lifts up.

the button you push in has a spring behind it.  when you taket the k**b out the push button should just pull out.  there is a tab on the bottom that has to go in the lower channel of the k**b before you can push the k**b and spring back in when you replace it.  you can replace the k**b, the spring or the button.  the new shift k**b just pushes down onto the collar and  you lock it in place with the screws.

hope that answers your question
