How do you fix the Shift park problem on a GEO Metro 1997 LSI?

You'll have to remove your console first. Once you've done this, you should see a cable with a couple of nuts on it running along the console. Loosen these nuts and then pull the cable casing forward until the inner cable has no slack in it and then tighten both nuts. Just make sure to check that it's working properly before you put it all back together. If you have it adjusted right, you should be able to turn the key from accessory to the lock position and pull the key out. If not, you need to work on that cable adjustment some more. This is a safety feature and there's no way to override it.

You can't get your transmission to shift into any gear including park on your 1996 Geo Metro?
Thils is a typical problem in the geo transmission. There is a check valve in the shift body of the transmission. It is easily fixed and costs next to nothing. If you haven't fixed it by now contact me and I'll give you the information. Mr Geo Metro leehduncan@verizon.net

If your Blazer won't go into park the problem could be with the shift linkage. There could be a problem with the cable, but the shift linkage is most likely responsible.

1997 Chevy lumina that is hard to shift from park to drive or reverese and back to park when it gets cold out it is fine to shift when it is warm and its a automatic transmission?
If your shifter is on the steering column, the problem is probably under the dashboard on the steering column. It is an easy fix. remove the panel under the steering column, and spray silicon lubricant on the shift lever that extends out of the column that the shift cable is attached to. 9 times out of 10 this will be the problem. Or, you could follow the other suggestions or have your transmission replaced. but at some point, you will need to lubricate this linkage to fix the problem.
