I NEED YOUR HElP...URGENT

[.tony. .riot.]

I have a carbon fiber custom shifter, and today one of the screws fell off and it went inside the shaft. How the hell to I take that screw out? The shifter is stuck, so I cant shift out of Parking.

damn can u fit a long screw driver down there, like attach some tape to the end of it

The screwdriver will only push the screw further down, already tried.

see that little platic tab in front of the "P"? Pop off that cover with a screwdriver. There's a button hiding under there that let's you unlock your shifter in cases like this.

As the the getting the screw, you're gonna have to take you shifter assembly out. Here are the instructions;

ive had times when i i have to improvise and rigg, and make tools out on the field for my job try straightening a coathanger put a drop of super glue on it and put it down on the screw, let dry for a few secs and it should come right out this will work for keyes breaking off in locks also

There are 4 bolts holding the base down. You have to remove all teh trim pieces around it though. Pain in the ass but you don't have much choice. More pics here;
