My 2002 grand prix has a center console gear shift. When I push the button on the gearshift, the button won't push all the way in & it raises up. I can't get the car out of park. My key isn't stuck, I don't hear or feel any clicking. It done this once before and it was due to the gearshift handle was raised up, after I got mad an pushed down on it , it worked fine. But that's not working this time. I'm disabled and have to have a car I can get out of park. Need help. Thank you.

My personal suggestion would be
to go for these repair catalogs from www.reliable-store.com instead. much better info on all vehicles, complete details, and they also have live assistance feature

SOURCE: 2002 Grand Prix will not shift out of park.

Check all fuses and make sur eyou don't have a blown fuse, first if they are all good then there is a switch on the top of the brake paedal that releases the lock on the shift (Its a safety so that if a kid is in the car with out pressing on brake they could engage the shift to drive) THat switch may be bad. Godd Luck

SOURCE: 2006 Cobalt . The Gear shift is stuck in park.

theres a switch that controls the shifter when the brake is applied. try putting the car into gear with the key on accessory, not on. if it goes into gear the switch needs to be replaced.

SOURCE: 2008 impala won't start or shift out of park, key is difficult to remove from ignition.

Sound like a problem with the Neutral Ssafety Switch, this is located on top transmission (generally) and its possible that need some adjust.

2003 grand prix gear shift gets stuck in park

It is likely the wires to the sensor that detects when it is in park, located inside the center console. (fairly easy to pop the console open, I watched a couple of youtube videos to see someone do it first) The wires are very small (~20 ga) and they are installed with very little slack. The sensor is attached to the gear shifter, so it is pulling on these wires with every shift out of park, especially if you put it all the way down to 1st gear. You likely have a broken wire to this sensor. Splice it back together and that might fix your issue. (we actually had 2 wires broken, and key would not come out of ignition)

96 pontiac grand prix gear shift moves but wont go into gear unless you move the car by hand then it clicks and will shift

Are you saying the automatic transmission will not shift into gear or the shifter won't move into the correct position?

It sounds like you have transmission problems but it could be that your linkage is loose or defective. Not enough information to give you a good starting place.

Shift indicator light not working at night, 2002 civic ex

Remove the center console covering around the gearshift, you'll find a very small bulb there, it's very common for them to burnout, change it and you'll be fine.

Can not get the key out unless we move the shift lever back and forth several times 2002 grand prix center consol

Could be junk, (coins, pens, ect.) fell into consol causing it to jam. If not check for loose bracket on the trans or bad cable. Have someone watch trans lever while moving shifter, if not same amount suspect cable.
