The transmission gear won't move from park to drive. I called towing. He open the little cover and push it with a knife. Then, I was able to shift. Was the part defective? I had my mechanic check it but I can't recall if he fix it. I have to check with him. Now it is working. I am wondering if other Subaru owners have the same problem.

The transmission shudders when the car starts from a stop, in first gear (from zero mph), both when the engine is cold and warm. This has caused delayed and uncomfortable starts.
