Q: Acura TL 2006. car was sticking in park.. I spilled coke in the console area where the shifter is located 5 days ago... I thought

Here's the question: Do you think it was just gummed up? or will the test be when I leave for work this evening? What does the water go that I poured down the console? will it be in my garage floor -- I didn't look? does pouring water hurt anything?

I thought it was the coke gumming up. So I poured hot water down the system to see if that was the case. Car still wouldn't move. So, i found this article and I did as instructed: Put the emergency brake on. Find the shifter lock override slot, which is usually located on the shifter console close to the shift lever. pushed the button. moved the shifter into neutral, and start the car. When I got to work, i couldn't put it into park, so I poured some leftover water, pushed the override button, poured some more water down the console, moved the shifter up and down several times (without pushing the override button) from park to drive, and put the car into park and now it moves freely?
