Is there any harm caused by taking an automatic shift out of park when the brake is not pressed down all the way?

Well normally from the mid 90's cars you shouod not be able to move the shift lever out of park w/o stepping on the brake - if you can then the brake interlock relays or system is broken. You should always put on your parking brake when you have the shift lever in park. There is a small pin that goes in the xmission to preent it from moving. It can brake and cause damage to the xmission. == Answer ++ Also, if you put a car into gear while giving it gas, you are putting extra stress on the transmission. You could damage the transmission. And NEVER shift into part while the car is moving.

Why would the shifter in an automatic 93 Subaru Impreza not release to go into gear?
I have had the same problem with my '93 Impreza. The button on the automatic shifter will not depress to take it out of park. There is an override option in the owner's manual but I think the real problem is the brake light sensor. Ocassionaly, when I can actually get it out of park, you can hear a clicking noise when the brake petal is pressed, this is the shifter-lock releasing. It must be the sensor for the brake petal going bad.

What could be wrong with a 1998 Kia Sephia that will turn on but will not come out of park?
check the brake light fuse. Most cars have an interlock system that keeps the car from shifting out of park unless the brake pedal is pressed. If something has caused the fuse to burn out, the system doesn't know you are applying the brakes. What caused the fuse to blow out will have to be researched after.
