SOURCE: my 2001 volkswagen jetta is stuck in park.

INFO:
There is an electrical solenoid located beneath the shift lever assembly that 'locks' the transmission shift lever in the PARK position unless the engine in running and the brake pedal is depressed.

RECOMENDATIONS: Sight unseen.
Ignition Switch Key Lock Solenoid has a metal locking pin that is sticking and it is not fully disengaging. Wait until a warmer part of the day and see if it works.

In addition, Would recommend a dealer or knowledgeable mech to have it looked at even if it does release on it own, It will happen again and will not just fix its self,

Hope this tip helps.

SOURCE: Volkswagen Jetta won't go into gear from park what

There's a relay on the brake pedal arm that actuates when you press the brake pedal. This releases the lock on the shifter, so you can shift out of Park. VW's are notorious for having issues with this relay. Stick your head down by the brake pedal and you'll see where the pedal arm hits the relay. It's more than likely stuck, and may not need to be replaced. I'm guess you probably have no brake lights either...

Vw jetta won t start and its stuck in third gear

Check with VW there is a recall on the transmission shift body. The pressure control valve is sticking. Assuming you have a automatic trans. the starting problem can and maybe do to a sticking valve also.

Shift gear stuck

Almost certainly worn linkage rather than a transmission problem. Lubricate all the linkage joints. Might work after it cools down, too.
