You probably have a blown fuse. The same one that controls the radio, dash lights and some other accessories also controls the transmission shifter. My 92 Metro was blowing a fuse regularly. It was the 10 amp fuse that powered the turn signals and reverse lights. When the fuse was blown I had to use the manual shifter release to shift out of "Park" and the car always tried to start in third gear. I could manually downshift but I still did not have turn signals until I replaced the fuse. After about 6 fuses, I decided to take more permenent action. I replaced the fuse with a direct replacement, self setting circuit breaker for about $7. Then, I could hear the circuit breaker tripping when I shifted into "Reverse". About 5 seconds later I could hear the circuit breaker resetting itself. So, now I know that the "Reverse" detection switch or "Reverse" lights have a short. But I really don't care because the symptoms are self correcting.
