1998 mazda 6 cyc automatic stuck in park

eBay. $74 for OEM or $18 for aftermarket. Won't it push back in?

https://www.google.com/search?q=1998+Mazda+626+%22Automatic%22+replacement+shifter+lever

..

Apparently some of these won't go into reverse unless the park brake is on. It has almost killed us twice so far

The
shifter needs to be inspected. Its quite possible that The
shifter assembly is got misaligned, it has to be open and realign.







There
are many other possibilities. But if it was working right up till now and
suddenly this shifting problem occurred then its shifter
assembly alignment issue.



Also
i suggest you to refer these gear shift issues, which are mostly noticed. These
are direct links with appropriate solutions to
the specific problems of gear shift

Usually a problem with the brake switch or the electric solenoid that locks the shifter into park. That circuit would need to be tested.

Could either be your shifting linkage needs to be adjusted or your transmission solenoids need to be replaced

read your manual could have a spot to insert a pin to mamually release or some now if you blow tail light fuse won't let it come out of park

When you experience this problem, check to see if your brake lights are coming on. It could be as simple as a brake light switch malfunction. If the brake lights are functioning as the problem is occurring then you could for example have a problem with the shift interlock solenoid.
