I have a 2000 Ford Mustang v6, automatic, and the gear shifter is stuck in park. Happened earlier and after a few minutes of jiggling I was able to get it into reverse didn't have any problems going from reverse to drive or drive to park. I got back home and parked it, now it's stuck again. What do I do?

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: 2006 Altima doesn't shift into reverse

The problem that I could see is the transmission/shift solenoid. The solenoid thing is located inside the transmission. The repair should run $200-$250 or there abouts. If you don't fix it quickly though, you will wreck the transmission and you don't want to know how much that costs!

You may also contact the manufacturer for second opinion.

Hope this helps and have a great evening!

I might have the answer for you.
I had a similar problem with a Ford, in this case a Mercury.
The mechanism inside the steering column wore out, and caused this very thing.
Because of it's age, I chose not the purchase a new steering column, but I think it was not available anyway.
I installed a used one out of a salvage yard that was not worn out. God bless your efforts.

My 2008 Chevy impala will not come out of park

The
shifter needs to be inspected. Its quite possible that The
shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.








There
are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and
suddenly this shifting problem occurred then its shifter
assembly alignment issue.




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 shift

My 98 ford mustang is stuck in park

check fuses for brake shift solenoid. the brake pedal position switch is a fuse under the hood. inside the passenger compartment, check every fuse. that's a start for not having more information.
