    Ouch!!

    Shift assist motor? Do they mean the parking pawl motor? There is no shifting that happens in a Prius transaxle.

    That sounds simple in concept but laborious in execution! :eek: It's essentially just a splined coupling combined with a shock absorbing clutch plate. If those splines stripped, that would definitely disconnect the engine from the transaxle.
