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 ****.

SOURCE: honda 1998 accord 4 cylinder will not shift out of park

Most likely the switch on the brake pedal, because you have to push the brake pedal first to get it out of park, Right ?

SOURCE: 2004 honda crv brake won't release

Your emergency brake is a mechanical brake system that is indipendant of the regular hydrolic system. If the red brake light on the dash is on make sure it's the emerg. brake and not a problem with the fluid level or the calapers sticking. the best way to check the emerg. brake is to rase both rear wheels off the ground and spin them. If they spin, the emerg. brake is not locked up. If they don't spin, take the rear tires off and the brake drums. (you may have rear disk brakes.) check the springs to insure they are all hooked up properly. If there is no problem there, follow the parking brake cable to check for damage. The cable is like a brake cable on a bike, If the inner cable is binding inside the cable sleeve,the brake wont release. If you have rear disc, it's probly a bad calaper.The park brake cable is attached to the calapers. Rember if it wont run it's annoying but if it won't stop, it's deadly. DON"T experiment with brakes!!! If in doubt, take it to a pro.

SOURCE: my 1993 honda accord is stuck in park. i have to

First of all you should check all your fuses and relays because they contain circuits that are not "always" marked within. Your shifter is held in place by one of two systems. !. there is an electrical solenoid connected to the brakelight switch which releases the shifter "only" while you press the brake, for safety reasons of course. 2. the same action is controlled by a cable driven link to the steering column. Your's is most likley the first on so, check all your fuses and relays. Then you'll have to remove the center console and look around that area to find if the functionallity of that release system is at fault.Good luck my friend, Dana

SOURCE: my 1997 honda accord will not shift out of

Inside the center console, on the side of the shifter, there is a neutral safety switch. You can replace it, or remove it. If you remove it, you will always be able to shift the gear, even with the car off, so its something to think about. But it can be done.

Shifting Out of Park Position

hi..

spaclear.gif A simple procedure to prevent being jammed in PARK on a grade:
  1. Do not put it in PARK until, with foot brake applied, you've secured the parking (emergency) brake.


  2. Before releasing the parking brake, apply the foot brake and move the shift lever to NEUTRAL or DRIVE.

2008 honda fit sport won't shift into park

I will share this kind of symptom with you because I have 2007 fit and its acting up the same way, it will not go into park and I shift back and forth between drives and revers then eventually it went into park. I also took the center console out and look at the shifter lever and disconnect the shift cable out of lever and it seems the shifter move freely therefore I don't think its interlock switch, I tried to call dealer but today its closed. I also have 2008 and its do the same thing I think they might have RECALL for this concern so please if you get any result let me know thankyou very much.

Can't shift car out of park

There is a shift lock release lever located just to the left of the gear shift. Pop off the plastic cover, and then use a flathead screwdriver or similar instrument to push down and release the lever. While you are holding that down, you will be able to override the lock and shift out of park. Then release the lever.
