My 2002 Mazda Tribute: After starting and trying to put gear in reverse, it seems that the gear is locked in the park positioned. After looking at manual and find the release button, the gear will shift, but but when I park anywhere it'll lock. Why is that and whis the solution for it. I've got about 98,000 miles on it.

When you experience this problem, check to see if your brake lights are coming on. It could be as simple as a brake light switch malfunction. If the brake lights are functioning as the problem is occurring then you could for example have a problem with the shift interlock solenoid.

SOURCE: 2002 Mazda Tribute V6 difficult to start.

IT SOUNDS LIKE THE IAC VALE OR IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE IS BAD, WHAT YOU CAN DO IS TAP ON THE VALVE. IT IS LOCATED ON THE INTAKE RIGHT BEHIND THE THROTTLE BODY, JUST TAP ON THE SILVER PART WITH THE BACK OF A SCREW DRIVER A COUPLE OF TIMES. THIS SHOULD UNSTICK THE VALVE AND YOUR TRIBUTE SHOULD RUN. THEN IT IS JUST A MATTER OF REPLACING THE VALVE. YOU CAN GET THEM FROM ANY AUTO PARTS HOUSE.

SOURCE: 2002 Mazda Tribute. Gear shifter seems stripped.

If you have some mechanical ability you should be able to check and repair the problem. First thing you need to do is to set parking brake and block wheels(for safety). Now remove the cover for the shifter and make sure you can see the end of the shifter and watch as you move the shifter does the shift cale move. This is where your problem most likely lies, the shift cable is most likely broken. If you find that the cable is not moving. You can also check this by looking at the transmission and seeing if the linkage moves, that way you don't have to take the shifter apart. That way if you don't want to try it at least you will know that it is the cable. That is usually what happens.

Gear shift is stuck in reverse. I parked my car, and removed the key while it was still in reverse ... now I can't start the car or get it out of reverse.

look on the ****** there is a little arm switch that you can click all the way down to put the vehicle in park. you may need a new shifter cable and/or the clips to hold it in place. also look in the steering column to ensure the cable is still in place Car category to stay in line with the rules here. The Escape and tribute are the same car. Since you do not plan to fix this yourself then I will tell you how to work around this so you can get it to the dealer.This can be dangerous so be careful and use a helper. Set the parking brake firm and remove the steering column shroud components per below instructions. Once you get the shiter cable disconnected from the steering column. Then you can manually shift the transaxle. You pull and push the cable to work through the gears. You will feel it click in every gear. Park will show the most resistance since it is spring loaded. Once you get it in park. Start the car and make sure the steering will turn and not lock up. If it steers fine and starts then have a helper also hold the brakes while running and pull the shifter cable one click to reverse and one click to neutral and then one more to drive. You can now drive it to the dealer for repair. The concern is going to lie in the shifter handle below the steering wheel requiring tools and isassmbly knowledge to repair. But the dealer can fix this for you.If you want the safiest method then that would be a tow truck, but you did not ask of this thus me including an alternate method.

Reverse lights don't work on my 2002 mazda tribute

Did you check the fuse yet? The fuse you are looking for is in the passenger compartment fuse panel, in the number 6 position and should be a 10 amp fuse (see picture below) I hope this helps and good luck.

2002 Mazda Tribute. Gear shifter seems stripped. When taken out of park, it shifts straight down and not into any gear. Is this a part I can buy and fix myself or do I need a mechanic? If so, how much...

TRIBUTE TURNS OFF

suprisingly it could be the TCC Solenoid on ur transmission. it could be locked in a gear and when u go to change the gear it stalls out. sooner or later the clutch in the auto transmission will let go and allow you to move. its a long shot. does this happen after a dead cold start or have u been running the car for a while?

Mazda Tribute 2002 engine cuts out randomly

I had a Mazda 626 with a similar problem, the car seemed to 'shut down' with no warning, even at highway speeds, as if I just turned the ignition key to 'Off'; After trying to fix it unsuccessfully by replacing several electrical parts, the problem was found to be a defective ignition switch, it was replaced and the problem went away.
