1994 nissan pickup - will not shift into gear from park. Transmission is working fine - but the button will not push down to put it into gear. With the cable can be pulled manually, and the car will lock into drive. Wiring problem? Or cable adjustment problem?

Well first of all it's a gear or transmission issue, cost some $$$

Check the transmission oil. Maybe it is about to change. Some models dont have the shift stick directly on to of the transmission, Some use a linkage from the shift lever to connect to the transmission. If yours is using linkages try checking them. They could be bent or worn off. Usually these linkages have plastic bush at both ends and they wear off with time, making shifting difficult.

Its a gear shift issue.

The shifter needs to be inspected. 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 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 ****.

check the mass airflow sencor

Check your auto transmission levels. Slow, often jerky, gear shifting is often accompanied by a bit of a jolt when putting it into drive from park or neutral. When fluids are low the torque converter impeller has to work harder to get pressure up and therefore it is slower at shifting to the next gear . Low transmission fluids also lead to poor fuel consumption.

There is a little button in front of the shifter. I pushed on this while moving the shifter back and forth. It immediately went down and I was able to put he car in park and then pulled out the key.

There is a switch under your break padal, which is responsible for tail lights and gear lock. if that switch is working fine and your tail lights are working fine then check the electronic lock of gear which is under the cover of gear.
