Nicklaus, shifter lock solenoid, maybe the brake light fuse, Check fuse 16 in the fuse block down in the left foot well. Center fuse in bottom row. If fuse is blown could be bad break light switch, damaged wires,corroded bulb sockets,etc. Have checked out by a good technician.

Testimonial: "1999 subaru forester s/tb, right hand drive. were is the fuse's located ?"

    If you are unable to find your fuse box, and do not know how to test fuses, google search it or take it in and have a technician fix it.

SOURCE: I changed the automatic gearbox in my subaru

The transmission dipstick on these cars is a deceiving little devil. wait 4-5 mins. after you add fluid and recheck several times to be sure of the correct level. is this a rebuilt or used unit? how much ATF did you put in? If only the pan was drained about 4 qts. should be close.If the torque converter was well drained you may need 7 qts. or more.It can be difficult to get the converter fully engaged in the trans pump it should not be more than about 1/4 on an inch (6-7mm) proud of the bell housing face.If it was installed not having the pump drive sleeve fully seated,you may have damaged the pump or bent the flex plate. does it sound OK? funny ticking or whine?

Nissan Almera Tino refuse to reverse but Drive and neutral are working perfectly. Wat is the solution pls

It could be that the linkage has slipped.. are drive, etc. located where they should be on the shifter? i.e., if you place the shifter in Neutral is it in Neutral, or a drive gear? If you slide the shifter a little more towards Park, or Neutral, can you get it to reverse?

Some autos have solenoids/relays, needed to affect the shift on automatics.

1988 Dodge Ram 50 Automatic shifts into park reverse and neutral. But physically won't go into drive gears.

Disconnect shift cable from transmission linkage and try to manually put transmission in drive gear ( make sure wheels chocked/park brake on ). If transmission goes into drive gear, suspect a shift cable or shifter assembly problem. If you can't manually shift into drive gear by hand with cable disconnected, suspect internal transmission/shift linkage issue

Automatic not changing gears

check the shifter mechanism for binding up and not moving freely into positions. Not starting in park but in neutral indicates something is out of alignment with the shifter. May just need cleaning and a bit of oil/grease to fix.

Gear shifter is in Park, but dash reads it's in Reverse. Car won't turn over because it is in Reverse now.

You have to locate where the park ignition switch is located. Some are on the transmission and some are in the column under the dash. It probably got moved.

97 toyota corolla brake fuse continues to blow

more than likely you have a park lock solenoid problem , a lot of them are located on the shifter assembly or attached to a cable coming from the ignition when you press the brake pedal you can hear a click ," locate it" and disconnect the electrical connection to the solenoid

The shifter needs to be inspected. If The shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.


There are many other possibilities.

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

Blazer drives forward but not in reverse have been told transmission is out and not out

The two only causes I can think of for this IF it is an automatic is either low fluid or shifter alignment. Does the shifter align with the marks for all the forward gears? If you slowly go from park to drive, does reverse engage at any point?

If it is not fluid or shifter, then the transmission needs to be checked. Could be reverse gear or if lucky just the bands are not catching for reverse.

When i put my truck into reverse my lights dont work however if i pull my shifter back inbetween reverse and neutral if i get this one spot they come on

There is usually a switch mounted on the transmission. Perhaps it has gotten loose or something is worn or broken. Your gear selection goes park, reverse, neutral and drive. Since the switch is not coming on from park to reverse but it kinda does if you go past reverse (neutral) then it sounds like the switch has moved from its original place. That's why I think it is loose. Good Luck!

Gear shifter sticking (auto) from Park to reverse and vice versa.

you need to have the shifting cable lubricated or replaced.
