SOURCE: Gear shifter

Sounds like just the brake-shift interlock getting stuck. I would try using the override to get the shifter working again, then use the parking brake to keep it from getting jammed in the future.

The parking brake will reduce the pressure on the gearbox, especially when parked on an incline. If the interlock continues to jam, you probably do need to have the shifter replaced.

SOURCE: loose gear shifter, have a hard time finding gears. how do i fix

check the bolts on the linkage going from the column to the transmission. probably just need tightening. (generally the bolt ON the transmission shift plate that connects into the transmission shaft is loose) Probably takes a 10 mm socket

WHY WONT MY 97 S10 2 WHEEL DRIVE WONT GO INTO GEAR WHEN I PUT FOOT ON BRAKE PUSH BUTTON ON SHIFTER SHIFTER WONT MOVE
The car has an interlock system that prevents you from shifting without putting your foot on the brake ..The brake pedal switch not only controls the stop lights, but also sends voltage to an actuator that unlocks the gear shift. Check the brake pedal switch for failure or loose connections or blown fuse that feeds that circuit . If you look in your Manuel there is a way to override and unlock the gearshift incase of voltage failure.

2003 Aviator: Button on the gear shift lever will
Yes, there is a switch on the brake pedal that could have been knocked loose or broken. There is a solenoid lock on the shifter lever in the transmission console.

My2001 vw jetta manual transmission wont come out of 3rd gear and i dont know why
Does the shifter feel loose? Does it drive in neutral or does it lock in two gears if you select a different gear? I'm trying to determine if it is a transmission problem or a shifter problem. It is likely a shifter problem.

1995 crown vic gear problems/gear shift wont lock
if the shifter is loose and sloppy feeling then the shift cable bracket has come loose under the dash at the steering wheel. remove the lower panel under the steering wheel so you can see under the dash then get flash light and look while jiggling the shifter. you should be able to see the cable and bracket. if the bracket is loose then tighten the bolts. note this bracket is at the steering colum.
