    No crank, no start. Have to always wiggle the gear stick (automatic). Fix?

    I have a 1997 528i Touring (Automatic). Everytime I need to start, key goes all the way over and doesn't crank. So I need to wiggle the gear stick a bit and even move it down to Neutral and back to Parking a few times and only then will it let me crank the car and get it going. Super annoying.

    Anyone know what's causing this? How can I fix it? What do I need to replace or fix?

    Sounds like a gear selector switch on the tranny. Common thing according to my Indy. Mine is going in next week in fact for this very repair.

    Do you have an estimate on how much will it cost to repair?

    Not yet but my Indy said it’s not overly expensive. I will let you know as soon as he gets back to me.
