All indications of a bad neutral safety switch. It's a safety feature designed to prevent you from shifting from Park without your foot being on the brake. If the switch is bad, the car can't sense your foot on the brake to allow you to shift it from Park.

SOURCE: shifter is stuck in park

check and make sure your brake light s work, if they don't the shifter is locked out, it is a safety feature to make sure your foot is on the brake when u shift into drive or reverse.

Shift interlock solenoid is probably bad. The override is down by the shifter with a little round cap that pops out to push a long narrow screwdriver into the hole.

SOURCE: 97 mustang won't come out of park

Is the steering wheel turned? If so this would cause the shifter to stay in Park and not come out. Turn wheel as far as it will go and turn key on put foot on brake and tire. If not the neutral park swith on trans might be bad.

SOURCE: my shifter on my 86 ford mustang is stuck in firdt gear what coul

Hi, if your car is manual gear box and its stuck in first then it could be one of a couple of things if the gear stick is solid and wont move out of the first gear possition then the chances are that it could be either the clutch has gone or the thrust bearing on the clutch has failed these parts both come in a clutch kit.

you could try rocking the car backwards and forwards whilst moving the gearstick to see if it frees up out of first gear.

Can you start the car up with the clutch pressed down and drive the car in first gear as normal if this is the case and you can drive the car in first gear and the clutch seems fine then it could be a more serious fault inside the gearbox even broken selector in the box.

let me know the outcome then i can assist you further ok

SHIFTER WILL NOT COME OUTTA PARK

You can also listen for a click when brake peddle is depressed with ignition on. Can hear it on most cars and its the interlock solenoid unlocking the shifter.

2002 intrepid wont go out of park it has column shift 2.7L runs and starts fine

Your problem is likely the brake light switch or fuse.It is a two part switch.One part for the brake lights and the other for the shifter safety release.You have to depress the brake peddle to move the shift lever.Good luck.

Cant move shifter out of park , brake peddle must be pushed to hard to the floor to release shifter

the most probable cause is a bad brake pedal switch. this is a safety feature on most vehicles, to use the brake before shifting. if putting on a new switch, make sure the switch is adjusted to turn on brake lights when pedal is depressed. hope this helps ya,
