stuck in park

Post by snowmystr »

I just went out to my car and turned it on, tried to move from park and the shift mechanism is stuck. The button on the front of the shift mechanism does not retract enough. Have not had ANY problems with this car at 124K miles. Transmission fluid is fine. Any ideas?

I figured it out. Just have to hold down the shift lock key while shifting.

Volvospeed has a good write-up on changing the lock out switch in repairs and maintenance.
