1997 Mitsubishi Galant-auto transmission floor shift problems. The transmission was overhauled on 08/03/2006 and cost around 2 grand. I noticed that vehicle's gear shift can be accidentally bumped from drive to neutral because this gear change does not require the brakes to be pressed nor the gear shift button to be pressed. I feel that this is unsafe. I would like to press the button and shift gears by myself. My teenager normally sits in the passenger seat, I am really worried.
