My wife accidentally dropped a penny coin into the Gear shifter and it slides through the gap ...could not get it out.

After like 20 minutes, the check engine light came on...old OBD2 reader got stolen, so not sure what it is yet.

Do you think the light and coin connected?......

 

Obviously... sorry for being blunt...

I have no idea what to tell you other than take your tranny apart...

 

Automatic? it won't go in the transmission...(in either an auto or manual)

Likely just under the cover...

 

Maybe I thought he had the shifter off, as in to take out the old shifter and put in a AFE or something... I guess I should of assumed he wouldnt know how to do that... or that it was a AT

 

If he's that stupid...he deserves to pull the tranny to get it out

 

Agreed...

 

hmmm....indeed an AT. I also think it should just stick at certain corner under the cover. But the engine light came on for the first time for this car in past 6 years, just feel it is too coincident...

Thanks for the reply, I'll have to open the thing and find it...

 

It's not in the tranny...period. Just go get the code read and be done with it.

 

Code 73669 46 872669

 

Damn dood im sorry to hear that... thats really unfortunate... good luck

 

just unscrew your shift **** and pop off the round panel. you should be able to get the penny out somehow.

 

lol
auto shifters are not connected to the tranny. so it wont be in the tranny.

 

There is a copper shortage so be sure to get that penny out as soon as possible.

 

Not clear, but it's clear that the coin and the wife are connected ... get new wife!
