1,.Make sure your key is inserted all the way into your ignition switch. It if is not, you will not be able to move the shifter.

1999 car alarm goes off when the car is locked.
Not a solution, but details about the same problem with my car: I have a 99 Lincoln Continental and have noticed correlations between certain conditions and the frequency of the car alarm going off.
When it is hotter outside, the alarm goes off more frequently than when it is colder.
The more of a slant the car is parked on, the more often the alarm goes off. My boyfriend's driveway is on an incline and any time I park my car there, the alarm will go off every 30 seconds. If I move the car to the level street, it doesn't go off at all. This has been noticed on other slanted places I've attempted to park as well.
Leaking
Hi Clifford, Any leakage from the front, or for that matter the rear of a transmission is a big job! The leakage if its from the transmission, will probably be behind the torque converter if the vehicle is automatic, or behind the clutch release bearing on a manual box. If the vehicle is consuming engine oil the leakage may well be from the rear crankshaft seal, which is situated behind the flywheel. If you need to remove the flywheel, keep in mind that the bolts are tightened to a specified torque which must be adhered to when refitting. Wherever the leakage is from the removal of the gear box is required. Regards John
