What to do when the gear is stuck in park on a Honda 2001
There are a couple of reasons why a 1998 Honda Accord may be stuck in park. The immobilizer system may need to be replaced or the transmission is having problems.
Perhaps throttle plate is stuck open - try to free with a screwdriver
First a question. Were you stepping on the brake when you tried to shift it out of park?
You must press and hold the brake pedal to take the shifter out of park.
look in the owners manual they tell you how to release it also you need to step on the brake to release it it is a safety thing
That happens to quite a few accords of that year. Hope this link helps:autoforums.carjunky.com/.../99_Honda_accord_automatic_shifter_stuck_in_park_P50669
In the event the Audi A3 is stuck in park:
You can view the 2000 Ford Focus owners manual online at : www . motorcraft service . com ( no spaces ) Click on Owner Guides ( page 134 explains what to do with the brake / shift interlock if your gearshift lever is stuck in Park with the brake pedal depressed )
It could be that the shift interlock is not releasing. There is an override switch underneath the steering column or the shifter console.
Will it roll forward or backward as if in neutral? If so the tranny needs fluid or is bad. Could also be the cable for the shifter went bad.
my Pontiac keeps getting stuck in park
