Dorman Shift Interlock Solenoid 924-976 — direct-fit replacement restores shift-lock operation

The Dorman 924-976 Shift Interlock Solenoid is a direct-fit replacement part that restores proper transmission shift-lock operation for compatible vehicles.

If your vehicle will not shift out of Park or the shift lever remains locked despite the brake pedal being depressed, a worn or failed shift interlock solenoid can be the cause. Dorman engineered this solenoid to match the original part's fit and function so you can replace the failed unit quickly and return your vehicle to safe, consistent shifting. The component is constructed from quality materials and backed by Dorman’s long history in aftermarket automotive parts.

How does this solenoid restore normal shift-lock operation?

This unit replaces the factory solenoid that prevents the shifter from moving unless the brake pedal is pressed. When installed, it re-establishes the electrical/mechanical link between the brake switch and the transmission shift release, allowing smooth, dependable unlocking of the shifter.

• Pinpoint fit: designed to match the original mounting and connections for straightforward installation
• Reliable actuation: restores the brake-to-shift electrical response
• Reduced downtime: reinstalls quickly to avoid tow or prolonged shop stays
