Check all the linkage from the transmission.
If you are no longer able to shift, then it's possible the linkage is broken. If this is a periodic problem, you may need to adjust the linkage or shift cable so that everything is prooerly lined up
If a 1993 Land Rover Discovery is stuck in a low ratio gear, check the transmission fluid levels. If the fluid levels check out okay, the transmission may be experiencing a jammed gear.
linkage to transmission poped out!
Check the shift linkage to see if it is loose , and has gotten out of adjustment . Unhook both the high /reverse linkage and the low linkage . See if you can shift it out of gear with a pair of pliers . Then see if you can get it in high and reverse . If you can then adjust the linkage .
Shift to neutral, coast to shoulder, check linkage and repair before you proceed.
If the vehicle is stuck in a gear then the shift censor is out. The other reason could be that the linkage on the transmission is broken.
Gear shift linkage?Remove gear shift from top and align
You should check the shift linkage on your Pontiac. You may also want to check your linkage cable because it may have frayed or snapped.
Yes the Mars rover is stuck, and earth has lost track or control of it.
My 1995 Land Rover Discovery was stuck in "Park" because the brake light switch was faulty. Ordinarily, you must step on the brake to shift out of Park. If you depress the brake pedal and your tail-lights do not light up, it's likely because the switch is broken. The switch is located near the hinge of the brake pedal; underneath the steering column. Your local auto parts store should have a replacement; I bought two at $10 each... and keep the spare in the glove box in case this happens again.
you have to change the break switch, is located under the break is 2" long with some wires
