Smile Gear selector very sensitive, shifts from D -> N when decelerating

Hi all,

I have a low mileage S211 which sat for many years. I've had 3 211's in the past and noticed that shifting into gear (manipulating the gear selector with my hand, for example, going from Park to Drive) is extremely easy, and smooth.

Lately the gear selection process is so smooth that decelerating rapidly is enough to shift the car from Drive to Neutral. I can pull the selector back into drive, and it comes into gear once again. Anyone else experience this issue? The car has no issues shifting between gears when in drive.

based upon what you have written it sounds like the shifter is out of adjustment-----get the WIS docs and put car on a lift to inspect
