Transmission won't shift into gear only park works no prior problems just all of a sudden stop Lincoln Continental 2001

hi i presumme you mean the gear shift has a lot of play you need to get it adjusted or if parts worn replaced and check your boxes fliud level is correct when was the last time you had the boxes filters renewed if its been a while you need to change them yates210456

I am not entirely certain I understand what button you are describing. However I think you are talking about the button that has to be depressed in order to shift gears. Aside from the transmission not being able to return to the park position, it has no effect on the key being removed from the ignition lock cylinder. The ignition lock cylinder wearing out and not releasing is a very common problem and requires a new ignition lock cylinder.

hi do you hear a click sound from the gear lever area when you press the brake pedal if not first of all check under the dashboard around the brake pedal se if the brake switch has fallen out if all looks ok then if you look at the top of your gear selecter you should see a small plastic screw remove it with a flat screw driver put you car key in the hole and push down on the key you should be able to then remove your gear selecta from the park position hope this helps

shift cable or linkage is broke or poped off

Testimonial: "Finally had my very busy mechanic friend take a look last night and indeed that was the problem. Thanks so much!"

SOURCE: Lincoln LS2000, transmission hesitates to shift from park into any gear. No problems with shifting through gears in regular driving. Is this a major repair? Only 113,000 mi.

Inspection is required.
