2005 Navigator cant get it out of park? Button on side of gear shift wont budge when I push it in to try to reverse or drive

shift lever does not move out of the PARK position with the ignition ON and the brake pedal pressed ?

Remove the center console viewing from the passenger side just under the shifter you will see the gear shift silenoid push in the button and now you can remove your key and shift into another gear

On the 1995 Jimmy, the shift cable can come loose on the mount on the side of the transmission where the cable meets the trans. When it slips, the alignment goes off and causes the driver to not be able to put the trans into park. If you take a long stick you can push the shift arm on the trans to the park position and your trans will go into park.....what you (and I) really need to know is how to take the shift cable mount apart and reset it.

Had the same problem. to shift gear manually with your hands. Look under the brake fluid (about a foot down) and there is a flat piece of metal. On the end of it on the bottom is a little rod with a round end. That is where the shift cable connects. pushing it toward the driver side of the car will put it in park. And if you count the number of clicks from park you can change gears. For example: 1 click from park is Reverse, 2 clicks is Neutral, 3 clicks is Drive. That is if it is all the way towards the driver side. Don't force it. when it stops clicking dont push it anymore. Hope this helps.

It has a brake-transaxle shift interlock. You should just push the brake in to shift, but if you have done that, and it still won't shift, with foot on the brake, push the shifter all the way into park. Sometimes they don't always go into park all the way. Also if you park on a hill, it puts pressure on the btsi, so you cant shift it. Have someone push the vehicle back, just enough to take the pressure off and it should shift. I had this happen to me with my Grand Am.

Put the key in, turn it forward 2 clicks like normal. Make sure you push the brakes all the way down and then try to shift the gear to park. Ya, cars wont start in gear, they made that way. If it still wont go in gear, try turning the steering wheel left & right. Sometimes the wheel lock can mess with ya. If not still, you need to call a mechanic. Cuz actually, if you were in reverse instead of park, the key should have never came out. Also make sure the key is in ALL the way.

if the car is on a steep incline could prevent it from engaging

The park shift lock needs adjustment. The solenoid that locks irt inplace maybe the cause of this

You may need a new automatic clutch or new transmission. This occurs often in Fords, mostly because people get lazy when shift gears and do not fully disengage gears, but rather pull up and down. See your mechanic.

How do I resolve the olds not shifting out of park. Button is very hard to push in to allow the shifting to other gears.
