I have a 2002 Dodge Durango 4WD. Car starts but can't shift into gear. Gear selector will move towards reverse, no furtehr, but not engage when I put my foot on the brake. If I do not put my foot on the brake, it will not move at all. Note that the shift linkage(?) is sloppy and there seems to a lot of play, like a half gear index each way.
Repair the selector system first then ask what to do
SOURCE: cant get shift out of park
It sounds much like failed linkage which is better than about anything else you checked.
I recommend procuring a Haynes or Chilton manual for your car.
It will not only help you locate the source of your current misery but serve you well in the future too.
They are available at about any auto parts store for ~$20 US
SOURCE: Shift into gear
Ok if this is going on 9 out of 10 times it is from the switch from your brake deppresion sen- under the dash. comman problem with these models.
SOURCE: all the sudden my 1999 dodge durango wont shift into reverse?
My 1999 Durango stalls when it’s cold and I shift into reverse.
Once the motor is warm reverse works fine.
SOURCE: runs great,put in gear stalls
You have some kind of sensor bad. Get it checked by a pro ; - )
SOURCE: I have a 2006 Dodge
I have the same problem. If you take the casing apart that surrounds the shiffter you can push the little pink lever in with your finger and shift it that way. You have to do it from the front left of the shifter where the cable goes into the shifter. It is called the shifter control module. The overide button doesn't work with this problem. Dodge just told me a new shifter was $30 and the are on back order.
