  • In this video, I tell you what to do when you can't shift out of park. I outline a few simple solutions that you can use to solve the problem. If you follow the steps, you will likely be able to shift out of park and into reverse, neutral, or drive! Once you have done that, you can drive your car to a mechanic's shop to get to the bottom of the problem!

    Last option (shift lock override) worked for us and saved us a tow. Thanks

    Helpful video.perhaps, whenever my car was parked on hill I did usually find it hard to shift the transmission stick from park to either reverse or drive. Grateful!

    Thank you so much you helped me get out of parking after frustrating work day.
    The override key option works for me. Have a corolla and all I have to do is to remove the cap and push down the key that was there.
    Thank you so much again for your helpful video.

    I had very old ford windstar. When I wasn't able to shift out of park I use the steps below:
    1. I would have to restart engine and let it sit there for 5 minutes without doing anything first, then check that the gear is still in Park. I then step on brake, and see if i can shift gears. If yes, then good,
    2. if not, my trick was to gently try to turn the steering wheel a little. If the wheel turns, then I have to shift gears quickly before it "freezes" again and everything‘s going to be ok.
    3. If the wheel didn't turn at all, that means I had to restart engine and try again, usually i can turn the wheel and quickly shift gears while foot is on brake from start to finish.
    4. If that still didn't work, the last option is to turn everything off, take the key out, reinsert key, restart engine and try to turn wheel, then it'll definitely let you shift gears.
    The key is as soon as you're able to turn the steering wheel, you should quickly shift gears. Time is of the essence. If you delay shifting gears after being able to turn the steering wheel, you will be back to square one.

    This video helped but I'm checking out the shift lock because the other two options didn't work.

  • @richardbarber3806
    @richardbarber3806 Před rokem +1

    My battery is dead. Would this cause the break switch to not engage and lock up the shifter?
