Try pushing the knob down onto the shifter a little bit then try and shift. Sometimes if that knob is raised even a little bit it will be locked in park. Can't be 100% sure without seein it but worth a shot. Hope that helps you.

YES THE PART THAT IS BROKEN IS MOST LIKELY A WHITE PLASTIC PIECE THAT SITS INSIDE THE SHIFTER HOUSING, REMOVE THE SHIFTER HANDLE REMOVE THE WHITE PLASTIC PIECE WITH ALL THE ROUND BALLS ON IT (I KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE YOU DONT HAVE TO SAY IT) AND LOOK DOWN THE HOUSING WITH A FLASHLIGHT IF YOU STILL SEE A PART OF THAT WHITE PLASTIC PIECE, THATS YOUR PROBLEM. YOU CAN EITHER REPL SHE SHIFTER LEVER P# 52078551AG OR SEARCH THE JUNK YARDS FOR THAT PART

Make sure the brake lamp switch(es) are working and no blown fuses. Be sure no aftermarket accessories have been improperly installed into these circuits.

SOURCE: Once in Drive, Jeep does not easily shift back to Park

Try to check the trans mission gears of your 1995 jeep grand cherokee.The shift fork and the clutch sleeve of the trans mission is locking to the other gears .And then also check the starter motor and its solenoid.if the starter motor solenoid is destroyed or worn out replace .

My 2008 Chevy impala will not come out of park

The
shifter needs to be inspected. Its quite possible that The
shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.








There
are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and
suddenly this shifting problem occurred then its shifter
assembly alignment issue.




Also
i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These
are direct links with appropriate solutions to

2006 jeep wrangler automatic transmission drifts in park

I can't imagine how the drifting in park and the starter won't crank the engine could be related.
It is possible something happened to the flywheel and it is not now connected to the crankshaft, or the bendix gear on the starter is not engaging the flywheel.
But the transmission has a pawl or gear that locks the output shaft of the transmission when the shifter is in park. That gear could be damaged and would allow the truck to roll in park.
And the parking gear would not have anything to do with the starter issue.
I think I would check to see if the flywheel is connected to the crankshaft first.
Is the truck still under warranty ??

Wrangler will not go into gear when the jeep is off

if transmission was good when engine is off you should be able to go through the gears. can also be stuck in between gears which you can fix by replacing worn shifter.
