The Stick Shift gets Locked in park, After driving a while when I change
from (D) Drive to (P) Park I can't get the car out of
Park. It Locks in Park
Hi.
This is a common issue with the Jaguar X-type and the S-type too.
If you are parked on an incline the vehicle can get stuck in park.
You will need to rock the car back and forth while someone disengages park, so when you park on any type of incline, apply the handbrake first, before you select park.
Hope I have been of help.
Good Luck !
John.
P.S. Don´t forget to give me a rating please !

My 2005
S-Type was stuck in reverse but the gear stick was stuck in park. After taking
the console apart trying to figure out why the shift lock wouldn't open...three
hours later I got under the car and discover that one of the two bolts that held
the transmission cable in place was missing...I replaced it and that was all it
took.

before going to a dealer check the brake lights work when it wont come out of gear
this is not a diy job sorry ,dealer or a decent general garage.its a problem with inhibitor system and its not easly remedied as difficult to get into
