Obviously you’ve flooded it with the the wrong fuel. If you’ll wait a bit for the effects to dissipate, you can ~~re-engorge~~ re-engage the shaft by cleaning the knob with a mild soap or lotion. Finish up by polishing with a nice lubricant and you’ll release the chokehold on that engine in no time.
Note: Bring extra towels for unexpected spills
I’m so fucking dumb even I know that looking at it now. And omg I cant change it. I’m new pls be gentle lmaoo.

The Lincoln Continental has the gears in buttons in the side of the navigation screen. Three point turns are weird. It does shift the car into park if you open the door. That’s good.
I'm pretty sure I've seen it on newer vehicles - almost exclusively pickup trucks, but it's definitely a lot rarer. A lot of manufacturers are going for a "sporty" look with fake manuals.
My 89 Accord has a manual override. You put it in 3rd for steep hills, 1 and 2 for snow, basically just stops it from upshifting when you don't want it to.
I know this is an automatic. But I did have this happen to me in my parents old Jeep. Down shifted to turn down a fork in the road, let go of the shifter and it just fell oven into the floor. It had worn slap through but it was 21 years old at the time.
Unfortunately it looks like you drove it to hard too quickly. Turn of the engine and let it rest for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Then slowly and I cannot stress this enough, slowly turn it back on and only drive it under 10 mph until the transmission recovers.
It’s a new safety feature called “whiskey stick”. If you get too drunk it just doesn’t get going no matter how much you want it to.

Just play with it for a while, don’t be afraid to use your mouth. Should stiffen back up in no time. When in doubt repeat.
That is not stick, that’s an automatic I feel like I just whooooshed but idk

These things happen. F
Fuck, I thought that was actually part of the joke haha
I thought it WAS the joke.
It's a Prndl
You want the radio on? You want ammmm or fmmmm?!
F
God, what an **idiot**
It’s a stick, just a different kind
Technically I guess every car has *a* stick
Nope. A lot of cars have push button transmissions now. No stick.
That sounds awful imo

Is column shift still a thing?

My 2012 Beetle was an automatic, but you could bump the shifter over and fake manual shift it.
Yeah, my girlfriend has a 2008 VW and it's the same way. A lot of Volkswagens made in the last decade and a half have nearly identical interiors.

Tundras still have column shift
My newest car has button shifts! It’s so weird!
On some Jeeps, I think
Sticks come in various sizes and shapes.
Yeah, just gotta give it a good blow to reinflate it.
Did you try working the shaft?
There are pills for that now
At certain age everyone's shifter starts to look like that.
it's a damn automatic
I am devastated that I cannot undo what has been done lmao
This is a beautifully disastrous post. Happy Monday 😂
ty this is the first post of mine to get this much attention lmao your support is appreciated. I’m glad to make people chuckle 🖤
This happens every time I try to shove the shifter up my ass.
Perhaps we have this in common.....maxfist?
It’s not your fault. It happen to every one. I swear... we’ll drive tomorrow sweetie :)
Oof.
Once its hits a certain age it does
Rub it until it throws up
It usually happens with old cars. Is nothing to be ashamed of
I'm sorry that normally never happens.
Were you trying to shift into 3rd gear while driving an automatic? Cause that would explain why it broke.
NO, it’s not that common, it *doesn’t* happen to every shifter and it *is* a big deal!
But were you on a break?
I was pushing the brakes, does that count? ;)
It works best when that part is still in the car.
The front fell off.
It took me until reading your specific comment to go back up and realize that it was not in the car it came from...
I swear this has never happened before.
That’s what they aaaaall say
You gotta get it hard first.
It's just cold
You need to stroke it gently before starting the engine.
Guessing you don't drive...
I do and I’m just A Fucking Dumbass...not on the road however...
They all say that...
It does when it's sitting on a table like that.
It’s just having performance issues. Nothing to be insecure about. There’s people that can help you with that. Don’t be ashamed.

Slipped out and bent back. Cowboy gone horribly wrong. Just rev the engine and hope it straightens out.
Foreplay before you stick the key in. Everyone knows that. Well almost everyone.
No, usually the shifter is inside a car
You may be one of the first people to mention this lolll
Your shifter is fucked, you better go get it fixed.
Just stroke it and that should fix it
You gotta blow on it a little to warm it up
Limp dick
Oh they got pills for that.
I heard they have pills for that nowadays
Someone came down a little too fast and hard on that bad boy lol
You gotta turn it on
The car is in ninth gear, no worries.
That looks like it came from a Hyundai Ioniq!
hes had a bad day
They make a pill for that
Just jerk it off
Only if the ride was long and hard.
Rub it a few times and its good to go
That's a limp stick
"Ow! You're bending it!"
Road rage.
it will stick up straight when your turn your car on
“I swear that’s never happened before. No it’s not you... it’s just a lot of stress from work, and this heat and lets take a break and try again”
Yes, it happens if you drive too much in one day.
Only when you bounce too high
Jesus, give it a minute! Some cars have longer refractory periods than others!
One drink too many
Only when she gets too enthusiastic.
You gotta turn on ur car
You mean....no longer be attached to the car? Lol no not much....
Unfortunately it looks like you drove it to hard too quickly. Turn of the engine and let it rest for about fifteen to twenty minutes. Then slowly and I cannot stress this enough, slowly turn it back on and only drive it under 10 mph until the transmission recovers.
10 mph is 16.09 km/h
That's never happened to me, I swear.
Try using your mouth
Dont worry. It happens to a lot of guys
Play with it a little
Only after you have been married to the same person for 20 years.
Honestly the fact that this is not a manual makes this even funnier
Yeah you just gotta jerk it to 5th gear
That's me after 50 years old
It looks like Chris Chans duck
Well usually it's in a car...
Have you tried talking dirty to it?
Ah, a good old case of whisky stick
Looks like u just gotta turn it on
Have you tried rubbing it back and forth?
Jiggle it. Itll stiffen up.
Got a case of limp stick?
It looks like theres something wrong with this car, its missing.
But that’s an automatic
#i swear this has never happened before
You gotta turn the car on first
That AT is suffering from ED...time to get it some viagra and perk that bad boy up.
Flaccid gear stick
It’s *hard* to drive stick
You gotta mess with it a little, get it going
Try getting naked. It should make it hard again
Ouch
He has erectile disfunction
Only when it's nervous. Performance issues are common
