Check corect amount of hydraulic fluid. And if the plastic bushes on the lever arnt worn down

drop steering collum to replace lost screw and tighten all of the other shifter screws best solution is to replace the shifter tube ,plunger ,bushings and straps takes about an hour.do not forget to use loctite on the screws.

Check under your dash at the levers for the Brake pedal. There are some Interlock switches that get hit by feet fairly regularly. The switch that makes the gearshift unlock is on the Brake pedal.You have to have your foot on the brake to shift out of Park.

When the shifter is stuck you will not be able to remove your Key from the Ignition. You need to press on the Brake and then try to get the trigger on the shifter to move into Park. Once in Park everything will be okay.

can put the truck in gear

try stepping on the brake pedal then pulling the shifter out of park if that dont work it may have a shifter overide lock near the shifter you pop the cover up with a flathead screwdriver and push the screwdriver down in the slot while stepping on the brake and shifting out of park hope this helps

try keeping steering wheel straight when you turn key off to keep steering wheel lock assy from locking you wheel to on side..

theres a switch that controls the shifter when the brake is applied. try putting the car into gear with the key on accessory, not on. if it goes into gear the switch needs to be replaced.

it maybe whats called torque lock, you put the car in park and didn't apply the brake, and trans. shifter locked maybe try rocking the car and then try to shift,hope this helps.

ALWAYS engage the Parking Brake BEFORE putting car into "Park". When you want to get out of "Park", put your foot on the brake pedal, move gear shifter into desired gear, THEN take down Parking Brake. If you get stuck (gear shifter doesn't move), then try the "rocking" method (recruit 1 or 2 folks to push your car from behind while you try to move gear shifter into desired gear). Good luck!
