I did this to my 1993 940. Removed shifter from car, reached down inside and broke off the solenoid and its mounting tabs. All is fine, everything works great, and that was about 18 months ago. I did paint over the shiftlock warning, so nobody looks down and thinks there's a safety feature present when there isn't.

That said, yours is a different model and has a one-year-only shifter mechanism, so you MIGHT have a different experience. I've never seen the inside of a late 240 shifter.

I had a spare junkyard shifter unit "on hand" in case I screwed things up.
