Can't shift out of park
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hi there,
First post here, so I hope I follow the etiquette ok...
I have a 2004 S type 3.0 Auto
Up till recently it's always moved from park to r/n/d no problems, but just lately, it is reluctant to move out of park - not every time, but more often than not now.
Taking my foot off the brake and re-applying it sometimes works, but sometimes it doesn't and I have to do it 2 or 3 times.
The P is flashing, and sometimes when I put my foot on brake it goes constant, and sometimes I have to do it several times.
Is this something to do with the gearbox, the brake pedal or some form of link between the two?
Thank you.

I would check the battery first. That seems similar to what I ran into about a year and a half or so. Pep Boys has a pretty good replacement for about $150 or so. If the battery checks out OK then you should check the linkage. There has been a fair number of incidents where a bolt fell out of the linkage. Try doing some searches on shifter linkages to see if you come up with something.
