I own a 2006 KIA SEDONA LX the gear shifter would get stuck and not allow me to shift into gear. Remedy 1 : I replaced the brake sswitch which controls this that was not the answer.Remedy 2: In the gear shift handle a took it apart in the piece you press it would not pop back out, on the opposite side i located the cover which houses a spring which I located it was broken in three piece replaced and up and running. Good luck to all of you with this problem . Any questions you can call 661-303-1299 for clarification ask for Vince
there is something wrong with your SYNCRONIZER. it is a device located inside your transmission that is responsible for smooth gear shifting at any rpm's. i have not yet heard of syncronizer repair, so it possibly means that you just need to have it replaced. this is not a DIY job. have a transmission mechanic fix your problem
Nearly all modern cars with a column, console or floor-mounted shift knob are equiped with a shifter level lock release button. Look for a small hole or plastic plug, usually to the right side of the shift lever or on rare occassions above or below the shift knob. It should be just large enough to stick the ignition key into the hole and push on the release button. While holding the release button with one hand, have foot on the brake or parking brake set and gently bress the shift knob button and move to neutral. I spent two years working for ADT Automotive at Mid-America Auto Auction and out of over a quarter million automatic transmision cars I have seen, nearly all have this feature.
Sounds like you need a new shifter assembly, or the brake switch. Most likely will be the shifter though if you can move it out of park with the override.
button won't move to get out of park
